Kolkata, October 8 (Udaipur Kiran): After continuous rainfall and disruptions due to low pressure and cyclonic circulation, weather conditions in Bengal are set to change. According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the monsoon is likely to withdraw from South Bengal between October 12 and 14, marking the beginning of cooler weather in the region.
Following the withdrawal, temperatures will start to drop, and residents will gradually experience pleasant and cooler conditions. The IMD forecast indicates that by the end of next week, minimum temperatures in Kolkata and nearby areas may settle between 20°C and 22°C, while in western districts, it could range from 18°C to 20°C.
Similarly, North Bengal is expected to bid farewell to the monsoon between October 10 and 13. With clearer skies, views of Kanchenjunga from the Darjeeling hills will become visible. In Siliguri, Sonada, and Sukna, the monsoon is likely to completely retreat by October 15.
As per departmental estimates, winter conditions will become noticeable between October 25 and November 5. During this period, mornings will turn cool, days will remain mildly warm, and evenings will be pleasant.

The IMD has forecast light to moderate rain with lightning in parts of South Bengal, including Jhargram, West and East Medinipur, Howrah, Hooghly, Nadia, North and South 24 Parganas, and Kolkata between October 8 and 10.
