On some nights, temperatures of around 28 degrees Celsius can be expected as well.
"With the presence of the monsoon rain band over the equatorial Southeast Asia region, the coming fortnight is expected to be as wet as the first half of this month," said the Met Service.
For the rest of May, short-duration moderate to heavy thundery showers can be expected between the late morning and afternoon. Rain could also extend to the evening on a few days, said the service.
