Weather Today, 28 April 2026: India’s weather map is sharply divided today. Northern plains are battling severe heat, Delhi-NCR has seen storm relief, while eastern and northeastern states face rain and thunder activity while several cities are nearing or crossing 40°C and showing how quickly summer has intensified this year.
Will it Rain or Snow in the Hills?
Yes, higher hill states may see unstable weather as Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand can receive light rain, thunderstorms, hail in isolated belts and snowfall over the highest reaches. Srinagar stays cool compared with the plains.
Why Is The Heat Building Up So Fast Across India?
Three main reasons are driving the heat surge:
- Clear skies allowing direct solar heating
- Dry continental winds over north and west India
- Delayed widespread pre-monsoon showers in many regions
- Warmer nights reducing cooling recovery
Several areas are reporting temperatures 3°C to 5°C above seasonal norms.
