Bengal Braces for Temperature Rise: Cold Wave Recedes, Fog Warning Issued

• A Western Disturbance over Kashmir and a cyclonic circulation near Lakshadweep will significantly reduce northerly winds, leading to a temperature increase across Bengal.
• Temperatures are set to rise gradually, with the biting cold receding from most districts, though hill areas will still experience winter conditions until Saraswati Puja.
• Another weather disturbance is expected from Monday, January 19, further contributing to the warming trend.
• Dense fog is anticipated in the early mornings, reducing visibility and prompting a caution from the weather office for commuters.
• North Bengal districts like Darjeeling, Alipurduar, Cooch Behar, Jalpaiguri, and Malda will see varying maximum and minimum temperatures, all indicating a rise.

Why It Matters: Bengal to experience a significant temperature rise as cold recedes, but fog warnings remain for early mornings.
