South Bengal witnessed bright sunlight this morning, although the lower humidity has brought some relief from the usual discomfort. With Kali Puja just days away, the season of dry weather usually begins around this time in Bengal. However, despite cyclone ‘Dana’ moving away, rain continues to be in the forecast. The weather department has predicted consistent rainfall across various districts of South Bengal throughout this week.
