Weather Today (22 March 2026): India’s weather this March is refusing to settle into a predictable pattern. From sudden drops in temperature to bursts of cloud cover, conditions are shifting rapidly across regions. According to India Meteorological Department, these fluctuations reflect a transitional phase where winter retreats and summer begins to take hold, often producing sharp and uneven changes.

Will it Rain or Snow in the Hills?

Higher reaches of the Himalayas, especially in Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal regions, may see light snowfall as lower hill areas are likely to remain mostly dry and though patchy rain cannot be ruled out.

Why is There Weather Change Across Parts of the Country?

  • Successive western disturbances creating instability
  • Interaction of northern and southern jet streams
