As Poush Sankranti approaches, Kolkata residents eagerly anticipate the festivities amid a unique twist in the weather. Traditionally associated with chilly temperatures, this year's narrative seems to challenge the expected winter cold.
The Kolkata Weather Office, renowned for its accurate predictions, forecasts a subtle drop in temperatures, reaching around 14 degrees Celsius during the Poush celebrations. While the essence of winter might not be as intense, the city is still expected to experience a cool ambiance, providing a refreshing contrast to the usual cold associated with this time of year.
Contrary to the typical chill, recent reports suggest that the mercury might not dip as much as anticipated. Even though the temperatures are forecast to hover around 14 degrees Celsius, the Kolkata Weather Office hints at a slight departure from the norm.
Looking ahead, changes in the weather pattern are expected after this Thursday, with a potential increase in the northern wind pressure. Consequently, a gradual drop in temperature of two to three degrees is anticipated, creating a mild winter atmosphere that might linger for the next 4-5 days.
In recent observations, the temperature has already risen, surpassing 17 degrees Celsius. The morning atmosphere, characterised by a light to moderate haze, gradually clears up as the day progresses, offering a glimpse of the azure sky. Additionally, the possibility of rain seems slim at the moment.
Today's temperature recorded a minimum of 17.1 degrees Celsius, slightly exceeding the usual range. Contrastingly, yesterday's highest temperature peaked at 25.3 degrees Celsius, deviating slightly from the expected range. The air remains moist, with humidity ranging from 49% to 94%, creating a slightly muggy environment.
As the Kolkata Weather Office projects temperatures between 17 and 25 degrees Celsius in the next 24 hours, residents prepare for Poush Sankranti with a mix of excitement and curiosity, embracing the unexpected weather twist in the City of Joy.
