Weather Today, 13 April 2026: A sharp weather transition is unfolding across India as temperatures climb rapidly in many regions while select hill areas stay cool and several metros are already touching mid-30°C to 40°C range, signaling early heatwave conditions in parts of central and northern India.
Will it Rain or Snow in the Hills?
Light snowfall is possible in higher reaches of Jammu and Kashmir, especially in isolated zones of Srinagar Valley and rain activity may continue in scattered spells across the northeast, but most plains remain dry.
Why Is The Heat Building Up So Fast Across India?
The rapid warming is driven by:
- Weakening of western disturbances
- Clear skies increasing solar heating
- Strong surface pressure zones trapping warm air
- Heat dome-like conditions over central India
This has pushed temperatures 3°C–6°C above normal in several regions.
Where are the Heat Wave Alerts?
- Rajasthan with severe heat pockets up to 41°C
- Gujarat (Saurashtra & Kutch) with heatwave warning
- Madhya Pradesh is rising heat stress zones
- Odisha with hot and humid conditions
- Vidarbha region with high heat probability
