Winter is returning before Valentine's week begins. This is what you call the pull of love! Winter took a 'U-turn' even while departing. The temperature in the city of joy could drop back to the 14-degree range. At least that's the forecast from the Alipore Weather Department. The weather office reports that over the next three days, minimum temperatures in West Bengal's districts could drop by two to three degrees Celsius. This means temperatures could fall to 14 degrees.
There is no possibility of any major temperature change after that period. In other words, the winter atmosphere is set to return in the mornings and nights. Winter's journey this season has been quite smooth. However, the mercury began rising from the end of January. And Valentine's week begins in just two days. Winter lovers are naturally happy about the news of winter's return.
