Weather Today, 07 May 2026: India’s weather pattern reflects a sharp contrast between rising heat in the north and central belt and scattered rain activity in the east and south. According to IMD trends, maximum temperatures in several cities are already crossing 38°C to 45°C, while pockets of northeast India continue to receive heavy rainfall and thunderstorms where this mix is creating highly unstable atmospheric conditions across the country.
Will it Rain or Snow in the Hills?
Hill regions are expected to remain mostly rainy rather than snowy due to rising seasonal temperatures.
- Himachal and Uttarakhand: Light to moderate rainfall
- Jammu and Kashmir: Cloudy with isolated rain spells
- Snowfall: Not expected at present elevations
Temperatures in hill stations range between 8°C to 22°C, depending on altitude.
Why Is the Heat Building Up So Fast Across India?
Rapid warming is linked to:
- Weak pre-monsoon circulation
- Dry northwesterly winds
- Delayed cloud formation over central India
- Rising urban heat island effect
Day temperatures are increasing by 0.5°C to 1.2°C daily in several northern states.
