This may be accompanied by thundershowers in several districts. Kolkata will have a maximum 33 degree centigrade temperature and 27 degree centigrade minimum temperature, though high humidity will mean discomfort throughout the day.

Incessant, heavy rainfall has been predicted from July 9 in Darjeeling and Kalimpong. Also, Jalpaiguri, Cooch Behar and Alipurduar too will get heavy rainfall from Thursday. Since the rainfall will continue for a few days, there is possibility of flooding, officials said.
