Winter's Farewell: Temperatures to Rise from Saraswati Puja Day in Bengal

• Temperatures in South Bengal will rise by 3 to 5 degrees from Saraswati Puja day, January 23.
• Western disturbances are blocking northerly winds, leading to a decrease in winter chill.
• Moderate fog is expected in Birbhum, Murshidabad, Bardhaman, and parts of North and South 24 Parganas on Friday and Saturday.
• Minimum temperatures in Kolkata and adjacent districts will be 14-16 degrees Celsius until Saturday.
• Winter is expected to practically depart from Sunday across South Bengal, with a touch of spring in the air.

Why It Matters: Bengal to experience rising temperatures and a receding winter from Saraswati Puja day due to western disturbances.
