According to the reports, the maximum temperature also plummeted to 18.4°C, causing cold day across Kolkata.
It has been said in the latest forecast that Birbhum and Purba Bardhaman are expected to experience extreme cold conditions further until end of this week.
During this period, the mercury in Kolkata is likely to touch the 9°C mark.
Districts like Cooch Behar, Alipurduar, and Jalpaiguri of the North Bengal are facing severe cold wave conditions. Alert for morning fogs have been issued in North Bengal, as well as South Bengal districts, including Hooghly, Nadia, and Birbhum.
