The minimum temperature slid to 14.4° Celsius in Calcutta on Sunday, the lowest so far this season. The Met office said the slide was not because of northwesterly winds but because the day temperature was abnormally low the day before. On December 6, the Met office recorded a minimum of 14.5°C in Alipore. On Saturday, a fog cover that overstayed its usual tenure for hours, caused asharp slide in the day temperature. The Met office recorded a maximum temperature of 20.7° C in Alipore, more than five degrees under the normal maximum temperature.
