Kolkata News: The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has noted an unusual circulation pattern in the Bay of Bengal that has created ideal conditions for strong winds to reach West Bengal. However, the IMD has not yet declared that winter is approaching.

This meteorological phenomenon, which began in mid-November, has resulted in a slight decrease in nighttime temperatures across the state. The IMD forecasts that temperatures may drop further over the weekend. The Alipore Meteorological Department has indicated that overnight temperatures in the Himalayan region and Gangetic Bengal could fall by two to three degrees, but this change is not expected before Friday.

In northern West Bengal, areas like Darjeeling and Kalimpong might experience light rain from Monday to Wednesday, while the rest of the region is expected to remain dry.
