Thus, the city is still far away from reaching its monthly mean and with ten days to go, it seems unlikely that Kolkata will be able to even get close to the monthly mean

This year, Monsoon will make a timely onset over Kolkata and the residents will be able to get the first taste of Monsoon rains on time.
