The monsoon is set to enter West Bengal in the next 24 hours, bringing respite from the heat in the state. The Alipore Meteorological Department has predicted heavy rain in northern districts of West Bengal for the next few days. Scattered rain is also likely in South Bengal.

The weather agency forecast the temperature will drop in the state in the next few days, ejecting the heat wave in cities of south Bengal including Kolkata. According to the meteorological department, the temperature may drop by 2 to 3 degrees Celsius in the districts of north Bengal in the next three days.

Heavy rains may start in Alipurduar 1 and Cooch Behar districts on Sunday itself, the weather office said. However, the wait for a fresh spell of monsoon will be longer in south Bengal, as per the



weather department. But scattered rain is likely in the south of Bengal on Monday. Also, the temperature is also likely to drop by 2 to 3 degrees in south Bengal.

The heads-up on the monsoon in Bengal came two days after it arrived in Kerala on June 8. On June 9, the IMD issued yellow alerts for eight districts in the state and five districts on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Heavy rains are expected across these districts over the next five days.

Meanwhile, the severe cyclonic storm Biparjoy intensified into an extremely severe cyclonic storm over the east-central Arabian Sea and is likely to cross Saurashtra-Kutch and adjoining Pakistan coasts around the afternoon of June 15 as a "very severe cyclonic storm (VSCS)", the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Sunday.
