Today, June 06, 2026, the weather across India is showcasing two distinct extremes. While the Southwest Monsoon is fully active and bringing heavy rainfall to the coastal and southern regions, many parts of North and Central India are still battling intense heat and high humidity. After making landfall in Kerala on June 4, the monsoon is now swiftly advancing across South and Northeast India.

Here is a detailed look at the weather conditions across various states today.

North and Central India: Humid Heat and Scattered Dust Storms

Delhi-NCR, Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan: Although the severe heatwave has slightly subsided, high humidity continues to cause discomfort. The maximum daytime temperature is expected to hover between 35°C and 40°C. Isolated places may witness dust storms, gusty winds, or light drizzle.
Uttar Pradesh and Bihar: These states will experience partly cloudy skies. Amidst the heat and humidity, light rainfall accompanied by strong winds in certain pockets might offer some temporary relief.

West India: Heavy Rainfall Alert for Coastal Areas

Maharashtra, Mumbai, and Goa: With the monsoon gaining momentum, heavy rainfall warnings have been issued for these coastal belts. The daytime temperature in Mumbai and Goa will remain around 30°C to 33°C, with a high probability of torrential downpours and strong winds.
Gujarat and Western Rajasthan: The weather here will remain predominantly hot and dry. However, localized cloud formations might bring very light, scattered drizzle to a few areas.

South India: The Monsoon’s Fury

Kerala, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu: The meteorological department has issued a “Heavy to Very Heavy Rainfall” alert for these regions. Specifically, parts of Kerala and coastal Karnataka might face extremely heavy showers, potentially leading to waterlogging. Temperatures will range from 28°C to 35°C.
Hyderabad, Bengaluru, and Chennai: These cities will witness generally cloudy skies. Bengaluru will enjoy pleasant weather (temperatures between 26°C and 32°C) with light to moderate rain and thunderstorms.

East and Northeast India: Flood Warnings in Effect

Assam, Meghalaya, and Arunachal Pradesh: The active monsoon is causing continuous, heavy downpours across the Northeast. Certain areas may face flood-like situations due to extremely heavy rainfall, demanding high alertness from residents.
West Bengal (Kolkata): Kolkata will see temperatures ranging from 30°C to 37°C. The weather will be hot and humid, with the possibility of thunderclouds and light evening showers.
Odisha and Jharkhand: These states will experience mixed weather today. While some areas will feel the heat, scattered rainfall in other parts will bring localized relief.
