India is witnessing mixed weather conditions on April 5, 2026, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasting a combination of rain, thunderstorms, snowfall in the Himalayan region, and rising temperatures in several plains and coastal areas. Western disturbances are influencing weather across North India, while southern and western regions may continue to experience warm and humid conditions.
Here is the latest city-wise weather outlook across India today.
According to the IMD, an active western disturbance is affecting parts of the Himalayan region. Because of this system, light snowfall is possible in higher reaches of Jammu and Kashmir, while nearby areas could experience rain and thunderstorms.
These weather systems may also influence nearby northern plains, bringing cloudy skies and occasional showers.
North Indian states including Punjab, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan may experience cloudy conditions with intermittent rain or thunderstorms.
Meteorologists say these systems may temporarily reduce temperatures and delay the onset of intense summer heat across the region. (
Delhi-NCR is expected to see partly cloudy to cloudy skies with the possibility of light rain or thunderstorms during the day.
Strong surface winds and brief thunder activity may occur in some areas, keeping temperatures slightly below seasonal averages.
Chennai is likely to experience warm and humid weather, typical of the early summer season in southern India.
Mumbai is expected to remain hot and humid, with mostly clear to partly cloudy skies.
Hyderabad may see partly cloudy skies with the possibility of isolated thunderstorms in surrounding regions.
Parts of Karnataka, including Bengaluru, could experience isolated thunderstorms and gusty winds, particularly during the evening hours.
Several cities in Uttar Pradesh could witness cloudy skies and scattered rain or thunderstorms, particularly in western and central parts.
These weather changes are largely due to western disturbance activity affecting North India.
Rajasthan may experience mixed weather conditions.
Temperatures are expected to stay in the 33–37°C range across most districts.
Higher altitude regions in Jammu and Kashmir may witness light snowfall, while plains could receive rain or thunderstorms due to the ongoing weather system.
Ahmedabad is expected to see partly cloudy skies with warm daytime temperatures.
Punjab may experience cloudy weather with occasional drizzle or thunderstorms in some districts.
Recent drizzle in cities such as Ludhiana has temporarily lowered temperatures and provided relief from rising heat.
Although rainfall activity may bring temporary cooling in several regions, temperatures across many parts of India are gradually rising as the summer season begins.
The IMD has also indicated that April may see above-normal rainfall across much of the country, which could help moderate extreme heat in some areas.
For the upcoming week, Delhi-NCR may experience:
Air quality levels in Delhi are expected to remain moderate to poor, depending on wind patterns and local pollution levels. Weather systems and winds can temporarily improve AQI readings by dispersing pollutants.
AQI levels may fluctuate throughout the day depending on weather and traffic emissions.
