Phyan fires up Calcutta- hottest November 12 in a decade, illness risk hovers [1]

Cyclone Phyan spared Mumbai when it was at its fiercest but its dying residue has made eastern India warmer and turned the region around Calcutta into a temperature hotspot that may precipitate respiratory illnesses.

The minimum temperature in Calcutta today was four degrees above normal at 22.6 degrees Celsius, making it the hottest November 12 the city has experienced this decade.
