Delhi’s rains are stuck even with thick cloud cover. IMD blames a mid-to-upper level anti-cyclone creating a high-pressure barrier that blocks the monsoon’s northward push. The Bay of Bengal branch is weak, the Arabian Sea branch is dominant, and dry northwesterlies keep clouds from maturing. IMD still expects above-normal seasonal rain and says a 3–4 day window could open if the block eases.
A viral claim says Delhi hit 54°C, with storms and drizzle bringing relief. The data doesn’t back that number. Here’s what the IMD’s records actually show, how hot Delhi usually gets in June, why extreme readings pop up, and what kind of short-term relief thunderstorms can bring before the monsoon.
KKR vs RCB at Eden Gardens will be played in hot, humid conditions with a daytime high of 32–34°C and an evening slide toward 26°C. Humidity near 79% will make it feel warmer. Light rain is on the cards with about 0.33 inches possible, so brief delays can’t be ruled out. Winds stay moderate, visibility around 9 miles, and pressure on the lower side.
Meteorologists are watching for a fresh low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal that could form within 48 hours and push heavy rain into Jharkhand. If it consolidates, the system may move inland via Odisha–West Bengal, raising risks of localized flooding, power cuts, and traffic snarls. Residents are advised to track IMD updates and prepare for a wet spell.
IMD has issued heavy rain alerts across Madhya Pradesh as a low-pressure system fuels the monsoon. Twenty-two districts are likely to see heavy rain in the next 24 hours, with yellow alerts for several areas on August 26–27. The state has received 34.2 inches so far, nearing its seasonal quota. Residents are warned about waterlogging, local flooding, and reduced visibility.
Agra topped Uttar Pradesh at 47.5°C as a fierce heatwave gripped the city, with IMD warning the next three days will stay above 45°C.

The city’s climate risk score is now rated “Very High.”
Relentless downpours on July 31 left Delhi-NCR soaked and stranded, flooding major roads and causing unprecedented traffic jams.

Air quality, however, hit decade-best levels.
Monsoon heat soaks Delhi as showers sweep across the city, with rain chances at 80% and humidity sticking around at 66%. Rain alerts now cover UP, Uttarakhand, and Himachal Pradesh. Temperatures spike to 38.2°C on July 8— the hottest day expected this week.
Uttar Pradesh faces weather warnings until July 9, with forecasts of heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and lightning. Residents are urged to stay alert, as authorities caution against outdoor activities during storms. This severe weather could disrupt daily life and farming activities.
The monsoon has finally reached Uttar Pradesh, bringing a wave of relief to Delhi and Rajasthan with cooler temperatures and much-needed rainfall.
