West Bengal Climate
The climate of West Bengal is transitional, with humid subtropical in the north and tropical wet-dry in the south. There is a noticeable seasonal difference in rainfall in West Bengal. For instance, Kolkata receives roughly 64 inches (1,625 mm) of rainfall annually, with August receiving an average of 13 inches (330 mm) and December receiving less than 1 inch (25 mm). Additionally, the state varies a great deal from year to year. There is significantly more rainfall in the sub-Himalayan area.
For almost the entire first three decades of the state's existence, the Indian National Congress (Congress Party) controlled the government of West Bengal. However, the Communist Party of India (Marxist; CPI-M) emerged victorious in the state legislative elections of 1977, taking control of the government. Up until it was forced out of office in 2011, the CPI-M remained the longest-serving democratically elected communist government in the world. The All India Trinamool Congress (AITC), which emerged victorious in the legislative elections of that year, was a part of the coalition government that ruled the country at the time on behalf of the Congress Party. Mamata Banerjee, the founder and head of the AITC, was the first woman to hold the position of chief minister (head of state).
The All India Trinamool Congress, the Communist Party of India (Marxist), the BJP, and Congress are the four main political parties that control West Bengali politics.
