Kolkata waits for another Nor'wester !


Saturday was incidentally Kolkata’s hottest day in seven years as the mercury shot past 42 Celesius and touched 42.1. With humidity levels at 87 per cent, Kolkatan's were found dripping. Friday too was the hot with mercury soaring at 41.8 degrees Celsius, which was six degrees above normal. Not only in Kolkata, even other districts of West Bengal like Bankura and West Midnapore districts, the mercury soared to 45 degrees and 44 degrees respectively. The continued spell of heat in the past couple of weeks has been the longest in many years, with the mercury hovering around the 40°C mark except last Sunday when Nor’wester had momentarily halted the heat wave. Though today evening Kolkata witnessed little breeze giving some relief and hope for another Nor'wester !
