Kolkata: The IMD on Wednesday said mainly dry weather is likely to prevail across Bengal over the next week, adding that both day and night temperatures are expected to drop by a few notches in most parts of the state. Weather experts said with little chance of moisture-laden winds coming in from the Bay of Bengal, dry northerly winds will lead to a fall in the day and night temperatures.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said Darjeeling recorded Bengal’s lowest night temperature at 10.6 degree Celsius on Wednesday morning. The other sub-Himalayan town of Kalimpong recorded 16.5 degree Celsius.
