Kolkata, Nov 06: The weather forecast for several districts in north and south Bengal paints a picture of parched lands and dry days in the coming week.
According to the Meteorological Office, there is little to no rainfall expected in these regions over the next seven days. While the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) hasn’t issued any specific rain alerts for these areas, it has, however, predicted a drop in temperatures commencing from Monday onwards.
In contrast, some relief arrived in the form of light rain accompanied by gusty winds and thunder in Purba Bardhaman and Nadia districts of south Bengal on a recent Sunday. Yet, the weather continues to remain predominantly dry and rain-starved in the broader context.
Kolkata, the capital of West Bengal, experienced a maximum temperature of 31 degrees Celsius on the aforementioned Sunday, while the minimum temperature dipped to 24 degrees Celsius. This gradual decrease in temperature aligns with the IMD’s forecast and suggests that cooler days may be on the horizon for the region.

However, the primary concern remains the prolonged dry spell in various districts of north and south Bengal, which can significantly impact agricultural activities, water resources, and overall weather-dependent aspects of life.
As residents in these regions adapt to this rainless period, there’s a growing hope for rainfall that could alleviate the parched conditions and provide much-needed respite to the affected areas.
