February rain drenches Kolkata, temperature dip likely

KOLKATA: The city woke up to an unseasonal thunderstorm and an incessant drizzle, which occasionally got heavier and drenched the city for more than two hours on Friday morning. The gust of wind played havoc with flights at the city airport, leading to delays and diversions.
