Best answer

1. Darjeeling is located in West Bengal at the latitude of 27°3′ N and a longitude of 88°18′ E. 

2. Kolkata is also located in West Bengal at the latitude of 22°34′ N and a longitude of 88°24′ E. 

3. Kolkata is located near the coast and experiences the advantage of the nearness to water during summer. 

4. But Darjeeling, being situated in the Himalayan Ranges at an altitude of more than 3 km, experiences less temperatures during summer. 

5. Thus, Darjeeling will have pleasant weather compared to Kolkata during the summer season.
