Drop in Celsius
The Celsius dipped to 14.2 degrees in Kolkata on Wednesday, marking the beginning of the second spell of chill this winter. Met officials attributed the chill to the cold and dry northerly and north-westerly winds. The winds dragged the day temperature down as well. The Met office recorded a maximum temperature of 22.8 degrees in Alipore. It was three notches below normal.
The chill is likely to stay for a couple of days before a western disturbance, which is expected to set in over northwest India on January 4, pushes the mercury up, said a Met official. The minimum temperature in Kolkata was in the 12-14 degree range between December 12 and 16 before going up. So far, December 15 was the coldest day of the season in Kolkata, with a minimum of 12.5 degrees.
