Delhi-NCR Weather: IMD Forecasts More Rain and Heavy Showers

Temperature Forecast and Daily Weather Patterns

Residents in the national capital experienced a warm and relatively sunny morning following days of rainfall, but conditions are shifting. According to the India Meteorological Department, Delhi is projected to record a maximum temperature between 33 and 35 degrees Celsius alongside a minimum of 24 to 26 degrees Celsius. Weather conditions are expected to remain generally cloudy throughout the day. Forecasters anticipate very light to light rain at a few places during the morning and forenoon, with precipitation intensifying later in the day. The India Meteorological Department predicts light rain at many locations, alongside moderate showers at isolated spots during the afternoon and evening hours. Surface winds are expected to blow from the southeast at speeds of 5 to 10 kilometers per hour, picking up to 10 to 15 kilometers per hour as the day progresses.

Nationwide Monsoon Warnings and Regional Impacts

The heavy-rain warning extends well beyond the national capital region. According to the India Meteorological Department, heavy rainfall is expected at isolated places across Haryana, Chandigarh, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Bihar, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, and parts of Jammu and Kashmir. The monsoon remains particularly active in eastern Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and western Madhya Pradesh, where heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely. This continued downpour exacerbates existing regional vulnerabilities. Himachal Pradesh faces ongoing road blockages and landslide-related disruptions, while Uttarakhand remains susceptible to flash floods. Furthermore, Assam continues to grapple with a severe flood situation that has pushed its monsoon death toll past the 100 mark.

Thunderstorms and Maritime Conditions

Beyond heavy precipitation, meteorological systems are generating severe localized weather across other parts of the country. According to the India Meteorological Department, thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and gusty winds reaching 40 to 50 kilometers per hour are expected in southern regions, including Telangana, Rayalaseema, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu. Similar gusty winds ranging between 30 and 40 kilometers per hour are forecast for central, eastern, and northern areas. Maritime operations are also facing adverse conditions. The India Meteorological Department has issued warnings for squally weather across parts of the Arabian Sea, the Bay of Bengal, and the Andaman Sea, where wind speeds could peak at 60 to 65 kilometers per hour in localized areas.
