City-Wise Temperature & Forecast (May 2, 2026)

The table below outlines the expected weather conditions for major urban centers today:

Regional Alerts: Rajasthan and Delhi-NCR

Rajasthan Update:

The IMD has issued a ‘Yellow Alert’ for several districts in Rajasthan, including Jodhpur, Barmer, Churu, and Hanumangarh. Residents should prepare for wind speeds reaching 40 to 50 km/h. While these winds will lower the temperature, dust storms could affect visibility and air travel.

Delhi-NCR Forecast:

The national capital and its surrounding regions (Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad) are unlikely to experience heatwave conditions between May 2 and May 6. An active Western Disturbance is expected to trigger gusty winds and thunderstorms. Weather experts predict that the intensity of these activities will peak on May 4 and 5.

Humidity Concerns in South and East India

While the North prepares for rain, cities like Chennai, Hyderabad, and Kolkata will continue to grapple with high humidity. In Chennai, the minimum temperature is hovering around 31°C, making the nights feel particularly warm and sticky.

Important Advisory for Farmers

In light of the sudden weather changes, agricultural experts have advised farmers to take the following precautions:

• Crop Protection: Ensure that harvested wheat and other Rabi crops are stored in covered, waterproof areas to prevent damage from sudden showers.
• Horticulture: Strong winds can impact fruit trees, especially mangoes. Secure support systems where possible.
• Irrigation Planning: Pause irrigation activities if rain is predicted in your local area to prevent waterlogging.
