The bulletin also said there is a possibility of five to seven days of light to moderate thunderstorms this month.
It further predicted that one or two low-pressure systems are likely to form over the Bay of Bengal and one of them may intensify into a monsoon depression.
According to the bulletin, the country's major rivers are likely to flow normally this month.
However, due to isolated heavy rainfall, the water levels of rivers in the northern, northeastern and southeastern parts of the country may increase temporarily, it added.
