Kolkata: The city will remain cloudy from Wednesday and mercury will rise slightly under the effects of the east wind.
While the minimum temperature has slid for the past two days and falls to 18.3 ° C on Monday, it will start climbing as soon as the cloud cover takes over, said the weather.
“For the past two days, the northwest wind has flowed into the region, pulling mercury down.
But the wind pattern has changed and the east wind has begun to flow into the region.
This has caused a moisture attack from Bay Bay.
This will produce cloud cover and Temperature increases.
But we don’t expect rain, “said Director of the Regional Meteorology Center (RMC), GK DAS.
Cloud cover is expected from Wednesday and can last until November 14.
“This can be cloudy sometimes and temperatures can rise past 20-21 ° C for the next few days,” added the watershed.
On Monday, the minimum slid temperature is three degrees below normal.
According to the officials met, the slide suddenly in Mercury in early November was unusual.

Winter onset is not expected in Kolkata before mid-December.
