Meanwhile, villagers have begun preparing for winter as quilts, blankets, and covers are being taken out in homes. While the daytime sun remains bright, the cold intensifies after sunset, particularly around midnight.
Local resident Rubel Islam said that light fog had been appearing in the evenings over the past few days, but today (03 November) the entire area was covered in dense mist. "The sun hasn't been visible since 8 am," he added.
Subal Chandra Sarkar, acting officer at the Rajarhat Weather Observatory, said recent rains have heightened the cold. "The morning fog and chill indicate the seasonal shift, and temperatures may drop further in the coming days," he said.
