``But the day would start with a light mist, the wind blowing 3 to 5 km per hour, increasing to 7-10 kmph as the day clears,'' a senior meteorologist said.
However, the weather will remain dry till Oct 27, followed by a period of isolated rains till Oct 29, then become drier again as the autumn slowly gives way to a touch of winter.
A low pressure in the North-West Bay of Bengal, Gangetic West Bengal and its adjoining areas triggered some scattered rains yesterday as it moved northward.
But it would clear and bring a mainly dry weather on October 24, the day the coveted Wills Cup cricket begins.
But there is a possibility of a low developing in the Bay later, although it seems the weather will remain mainly dry after Oct 29, the meteorologist said.
