Sun Dec 01 01:20:00 UTC 2024: ## Kolkata Sees Sunny Skies After Cyclone, But Cold Snap Delayed
**Kolkata, [Date]:** Kolkata woke up to bright sunshine this morning, a welcome change after the recent cyclone. The skies are clear, but the Alipore Meteorological Department has announced that a significant drop in temperature isn’t expected immediately. Temperatures are predicted to begin falling only from the second week of December.
The Sunday morning bulletin from the weather office predicts minimal temperature fluctuation for the next five days, followed by a gradual decrease. The recent low pressure and Cyclone Fenjal in the southwest Bay of Bengal disrupted the onset of winter in Bengal. Northward winds were obstructed, leading to a temperature rise. Kolkata’s minimum temperature reached 22.4°C, approximately 5 degrees above normal. Several districts experienced light showers throughout the day, with a possibility of further light rain in South 24 Parganas, East Medinipur, West Medinipur, and Jhargram on Sunday.
While the temperature may slightly decrease on Sunday, it will remain above normal in Kolkata. No significant temperature changes are anticipated across South Bengal in the coming days, although western districts may experience slightly cooler conditions. North Bengal also expects minimal temperature variation. Light to moderate fog is likely in several districts, including West Medinipur, Purulia, Bankura, West Bardhaman, Birbhum, and parts of North Bengal.
