Weather today, April 25, 2026: India’s weather this week reflects a country split in two, with large parts of northern and central India battling intense heat, with temperatures rising above 45°C in some places, while the eastern and northeastern regions braced for thunderstorms and heavy rain.

According to the India Meteorological Department, this contrast is caused by a mix of dry continental winds, weak western disturbances and active moisture systems in the east. The result is a volatile pattern in which heat waves and storm warnings occur simultaneously.

Will it rain or snow in the hills?

In the northern hills, especially around Srinagar, conditions will remain relatively cool with a minimum temperature of 7°C and a maximum of 14°C. Light rain is expected in parts of the Kashmir Valley, while fresh snowfall could occur at higher altitudes. These conditions are associated with a weak western disturbance moving across the Himalayan belt, bringing temporary relief from dry weather.

Why is the heat building up so quickly across India?

The rapid rise in temperature is not a coincidence, but several factors are working together:

• Persistently dry westerly winds heat up the plains
• The lack of cloud cover allows direct sunlight
• Delayed pre-monsoon activity limits moisture
• Urban heat island effects increase temperatures in cities

In regions such as Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, these factors have resulted in daily highs well above the seasonal average.

Where are the heat wave warnings?

• Western and Eastern Uttar Pradesh
• Delhi-NCR and surrounding areas
• Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh
• Vidarbha and Chhattisgarh
• Punjab and Haryana

Temperatures in these regions constantly fluctuate between 42°C and 47°C and are subject to heat warnings.
