Weather Report Today: Red Alert For Heavy Rains in Karnataka, Maharashtra, Kerala, Partly Cloudy Sky in Delhi-NCR
Weather Update Today: As the month of May is about to end, the weather has taken a drastic turn as heavy rains and thunderstorms have been constantly disrupting the daily life of citizens. Furthermore, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a red alert for heavy rainfall in south India, as a result of early monsoon. Breaking all the previous years’ records, the reason behind the early arrival of monsoon is due to a combination of favourable meteorological and oceanic conditions. According to the IMD, a low-pressure area formed over the Arabian Sea, with a trough stretching into Vidarbha. These systems considerably increased moisture influx and atmospheric convection, hastening the monsoon's march across the Indian subcontinent.
This early arrival marked significant changes in the weather pattern of different states, also affecting the northern region including the national capital. Check the latest weather forecast in each state.
Cloudy Skies in Delhi-NCR
After two days of pleasant weather due to rain, Delhiites will once again have to face extreme heat starting today. The weather in the national capital will be dry for the next three days. The Meteorological Department predicts that after three days of extreme heat, storms and rain will return to Delhi and the surrounding cities on May 30. Cloudy sky, thunderstorms, and rain are forecast in Delhi during the last week of the month. The minimum temperature is expected to be between 26 and 27 degrees Celsius, while the maximum temperature can range between 36 and 38 degrees Celsius.
