The Southwest Monsoon has gathered significant pace, bringing widespread weather changes across various regions of India. According to the latest report by the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the monsoon will be fully active across several states on June 28, 2026. While a heavy rainfall warning has been issued for the Northeastern states and the Western coast, residents in parts of Northwest India may still have to endure severe heat and high humidity.

North India: Heat, Humidity, and Chances of Light Rain

In the capital city of Delhi and the NCR region, skies are expected to be partly cloudy. The maximum temperature may range between 39°C and 41°C, while the minimum will stay around 25°C to 28°C. Gusty winds blowing at 20-40 kmph, accompanied by light scattered showers or thunderstorms, are likely during the afternoon or evening.

Meanwhile, parts of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, and Jharkhand will continue to battle intense heat and humidity, with localized heatwave conditions possible in some pockets. Rajasthan will experience mostly hot and dry weather, though a Western Disturbance might trigger isolated light drizzles in a few areas.

West India: Active Monsoon over Mumbai and Konkan

The monsoon is firmly established over the coastal regions of Maharashtra, especially Mumbai and the Konkan belt. On June 28, these areas have a strong probability of receiving moderate to heavy rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms. Temperatures will hover between a maximum of 29-32°C and a minimum of 27-28°C, resulting in highly humid conditions. Additionally, rainfall activity is forecasted to pick up in Gujarat and Central Maharashtra as the monsoon advances further.

East and Northeast India: Torrential Rain Alerts

The IMD has issued a high alert for Northeast India. States like Assam, Meghalaya, and Arunachal Pradesh are bracing for heavy to very heavy rainfall, ranging from 7 to 20 centimeters. These continuous and relentless downpours have elevated the risk of landslides in hilly terrains like Sikkim and Darjeeling. In Kolkata and Sub-Himalayan West Bengal, the skies will remain cloudy with expectations of light to moderate rain, while temperatures will range comfortably between 34°C and 37°C.

South and Central India: Good Rainfall Expected

Monsoon winds are bringing substantial rainfall to the Southern Peninsula. Moderate to heavy showers, coupled with thunderstorms, are predicted for Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and coastal Andhra Pradesh. The weather in these regions will remain relatively pleasant, with temperatures between 30°C and 36°C. Scattered rainfall is also anticipated in Hyderabad and the interior regions of South India.

In Central India, the monsoon is advancing rapidly. Parts of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha will witness sustained light to moderate rainfall and thunderstorm activities throughout the day.

Special IMD Advisory:

• For Residents of the Northeast and Western Coast: Remain vigilant regarding heavy downpours, potential waterlogging, and traffic disruptions. Avoid traveling to landslide-prone hilly areas.
• For Residents of North India: Protect yourself from the humid heat and potential heatwaves. Stay hydrated, drink plenty of water, and avoid venturing out during peak afternoon hours.
• For Farmers: Ensure proper drainage systems in your fields and schedule agricultural activities strictly in accordance with local weather alerts.
