IMD Issues Rain Alerts Across North India as Heat Lingers on the West Coast

Weather Update: Rain Expected in Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh & UP; Hot Humid Days Ahead for Konkan

The India Meteorological Department warns of showers in the capital region and surrounding states, while the Konkan coast continues to face soaring humidity and temperatures.

Early this morning the India Meteorological Department (IMD) rolled out a fresh set of advisories. Residents of Delhi, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh and parts of Uttar Pradesh should keep an eye on the skies – scattered showers are likely to arrive by late afternoon.

Temperatures in the capital will hover around 33‑35°C, with a slight dip expected once the clouds move in. In the adjoining states, highs will be a touch lower – roughly 32°C in Punjab and 31°C in Haryana – but the humidity will make it feel noticeably warmer.

Meanwhile, the Konkan belt – stretching from Mumbai down to Goa – is in for a different kind of weather story. The region will stay sweltering, with daytime temperatures pushing into the mid‑30s°C and relative humidity often crossing the 80% mark. A few isolated thunderstorms may pop up, but overall the heat is set to stick around for the next few days.

What does this mean for everyday life? If you’re heading out in Delhi or the neighboring states, carry an umbrella or a light raincoat – sudden downpours can catch commuters off guard. In the Konkan, stay hydrated, seek shade whenever possible, and be mindful of the increased risk of heat‑related ailments.

IMD has urged people to stay tuned to local bulletins for any updates, especially in low‑lying areas prone to waterlogging. As always, better preparation now can help avoid inconvenience later.
