Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Sikkim will have rain at one or two places during the first three days of the week. West Bengal and Sikkim will continue to get rain thereafter as well. Northeast states will continue with rainy weather throughout the week as the cyclonic circulation and the flow of moisture from the Bay of Bengal will continue.

But due to rise in humidity levels, uneasiness will prevail. Interior Maharashtra too will be hit by severe heat wave.
