India Weather – Today’s Top Updates and Forecasts

Want to know what the sky is doing over India right now? We’ve gathered the most useful weather news so you can plan your day, your travel or your weekend game.

Current Hotspots: Heatwaves and Alerts

Delhi is still simmering after the recent heatwave. A viral claim said the temperature hit 54°C, but the official IMD data shows the real high was closer to 44°C. The city’s heat index stays dangerous, and thunderstorms may offer brief relief before the monsoon arrives.

Just a few hundred kilometres away, Agra topped Uttar Pradesh at 47.5°C. Hospitals reported more heat‑related cases, schools shifted online, and water kiosks were set up across the city. Residents can expect another couple of scorching days, with only a short evening drizzle as possible relief.

In Madhya Pradesh, a low‑pressure system has triggered heavy‑rain alerts for 22 districts. The IMD warned of water‑logging and reduced visibility, especially on highways. If you’re driving through central India, keep an eye on local updates and avoid flood‑prone routes.

Jharkhand’s forecast looks similar. A fresh low over the Bay of Bengal could bring heavy rain within the next 48 hours, moving inland through Odisha and West Bengal. Expect localized flooding and power cuts in low‑lying areas.

Monsoon and Rain Outlook

Delhi’s monsoon is being held back by a high‑pressure wall that’s stalling rain clouds. The IMD says a mid‑upper level anti‑cyclone is acting like a barrier, preventing the northward push of the monsoon. The outlook remains positive for the season, but the city may have to wait a few more days for a solid rain spell.

In Kolkata, the Eden Gardens stadium is set for hot and humid conditions ahead of the KKR vs RCB IPL match. Daytime highs will reach 32‑34°C, with humidity near 79%. Light rain is possible, so a brief delay on the field can’t be ruled out.

Across the northern plains, the Arabian Sea branch of the monsoon is stronger than the Bay of Bengal branch, which explains why some regions see more rain than others. The IMD expects above‑normal seasonal totals, but local variations will continue.

If you’re following sports or outdoor events, these weather patterns matter. A sudden downpour can change a cricket match’s momentum, while excessive heat can affect player stamina and fan comfort.

Overall, keep an eye on IMD updates, especially for sudden changes in pressure systems. A quick check each morning can save you from unexpected floods or heat‑related health issues.
