In Delhi, the maximum temperature is expected to hit 40°C, accompanied by light to moderate rain and thunderstorms. Meanwhile, Hyderabad will see a blistering high of 41°C with dry heat and gusty winds making it feel even hotter. Kolkata offers a slight reprieve with moderate rain chances and a maximum temperature of 34°C.

Key temperature forecasts:

• Delhi: Maximum of 40°C with thunderstorms
• Hyderabad: Maximum of 41°C with dry heat
• Kolkata: Maximum of 34°C with moderate rain
• Chennai: Maximum of 35°C with isolated coastal showers

The situation is dire in Rajasthan, where extreme heat pockets are reported above 42°C. Uttar Pradesh isn’t faring much better either, as persistent warm conditions push temperatures up to around 40°C. In contrast, Jammu and Kashmir will experience a dramatic shift with light rain and potential snowfall in higher altitudes, where temperatures range from a chilly 7°C to a mild 15°C.

As cities grapple with rising temperatures, officials have issued yellow alerts across Delhi-NCR for high heat stress levels between 40–42°C. The impact of this heat wave is already visible—urban heat stress is affecting travel plans, health services, and increasing electricity demand.
