Delhi Weather: Real‑Time Updates and What to Expect
If you live in Delhi or plan to visit, the weather can change fast. Recent rainstorms, temperature drops and air‑quality shifts have made the city’s forecast a hot topic. Below you’ll find the most useful info to help you dress right, plan travel and stay safe.
Current Weather Alerts in Delhi
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a fresh yellow alert as heavy showers linger for another two days. Three weather systems are feeding the rain, pushing the Yamuna above the evacuation mark and causing water‑logging on major roads. Flights at IGI Airport have faced delays, and traffic snarls are common during the downpours.
In addition to the yellow alert, the broader National Capital Region (NCR) is under an orange alert for possible flooding. If you’re heading out, keep an eye on local news and be ready for sudden road closures.
What to Expect in the Coming Days
Temperatures have dipped below the seasonal norm, offering a brief relief from the usual Delhi heat. Expect daytime highs in the low 30s°C and cooler evenings around 22°C. However, humidity remains high, so it can still feel sticky.
Looking ahead, the forecast shows a chance of more rain early next week, followed by clearer skies later in the week. This pattern means you’ll likely see a mix of wet mornings and dry afternoons.
For commuters, the key takeaway is to plan extra travel time during rain windows and watch for traffic updates on major arteries like the Ring Road and Outer Ring Road.
Air quality has stayed in the satisfactory range despite the rain, but dust and pollen can spike once the skies clear. If you have respiratory sensitivities, keep a mask handy for the dry periods.
Businesses that rely on outdoor activities—construction, events, logistics—should monitor the alerts closely. Many projects have already adjusted schedules to avoid the heavy downpours.
For tourists, the rain offers a chance to explore indoor attractions such as museums, galleries and historic forts without battling the usual heat. Just remember to carry an umbrella and waterproof shoes.
Overall, staying updated on the IMD alerts and checking local traffic apps will make navigating Delhi’s weather much smoother.
