While Hyderabad and parts of South India brace for rain and thunderstorms this week, North India enjoys clear skies and a steady dip in temperature

Today Weather Updates: Hyderabad, Telangana, continues to experience heavy rainfall, leading to severe congestion and traffic jams, while Mumbai and Delhi have seen little to no rain. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a two-day notice for October 15 and 16, but as of now, there is no alert for Hyderabad on October 13.

 

According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), for the next two to three days, the southwest monsoon is likely to continue its withdrawal across a huge part of central and eastern India. This covers the whole states of Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh, as well as the remaining parts of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Bihar.

Delhi-NCR and North India - weather update

The IMD forecast mostly clear skies for Delhi-NCR till October 14. However, the northern region has begun to see colder breezes, with daytime highs of 30 to 31°C and night-time lows of 18 to 19°C in places like Noida, Ghaziabad, and Gurgaon. 

 

According to IMD, both are marginally below average for this time of year. Over the next few days, the capital should continue to see beautiful weather with light winds and no rainfall. No rain is expected in the region until after Diwali, with a sharper chill likely to set in once the festivities end.
