Even as morning showers brought a relief in parts of Kolkata, monsoon is yet to enter the city and South Bengal. The Met office forecasts hold less hope for the scorching heat to disappear as maximum temperature is likely to remain 39 degree Celsius with partly cloudy sky.
According to Mr. G C Debnath, Director, Regional Met Office at Alipore, hot and sultry weather will remain as monsoon is expected arrive only after June 10 in Kolkata and the entire South Bengal. Mr. Debnath said monsoon has only made its advent in Jalpaiguri and Cooch Behar districts of North Bengal so far.
