The extremely uncomfortable afternoons are here to stay as the peninsula is nowhere near any relief from the searing heat. Hot and humid weather is likely to continue with chances of isolated thundershowers in the peninsula. The rain is likely to gradually reduce in West Bengal with the action shifting north-east.
Wet weather is likely to commence in the north-eastern states of the nation. Smaller showers could also occur in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Odisha and parts of Tamil Nadu, Kerala and interior Karnataka.
