Subdued monsoon and high humidity level combined to keep temperatures high in West Bengal as the weatherman forecast similar weather for the next two days with little chance of rain.
Day and night temperatures were above normal in most parts of the state by upto two to three notches as the state has received no rains since yesterday.
Bankura and Sriniketan recorded the day's highest temperature in the state at 35.0 degrees Celsius, while Kolkata followed closely at 34.9, the Met department said.
