New Delhi: A significant change in weather is expected in the Delhi-NCR region on March 26. Skies will remain overcast, and several areas may experience light rain accompanied by mild thunder and lightning. This will make the weather cooler and more pleasant for a brief period. In Delhi, the maximum temperature is likely to hover around 34°C, while the minimum is expected to be 18°C. Residents of Noida and Agra may also find some respite from the heat due to light rainfall.
In most cities across Uttar Pradesh—such as Lucknow, Kanpur, and Prayagraj—the weather is expected to remain clear. There is no significant likelihood of rain in these regions. Temperatures are on a steady rise, meaning the heat will feel more intense during the daytime. Temperatures could reach 35°C in Lucknow, 34°C in Kanpur, and 36°C in Prayagraj. This indicates that the summer heat is now gradually beginning to intensify.
The effects of the heat will be even more pronounced in the cities of Madhya Pradesh. In Bhopal, temperatures could climb as high as 37°C, while in Indore and Ujjain, they are expected to hover around 36°C. Skies will remain clear, and there is no chance of rain. The intense sunshine during the day may cause significant discomfort to residents.
In Delhi, Noida, and Agra, the rain and cloud cover will lead to a slight drop in temperatures. While this will certainly provide temporary relief, it is unlikely to last for very long. Gurgaon is expected to see light cloud cover, though the probability of rain remains low.
According to the Meteorological Department, temperatures could rise further by 2 to 4 degrees over the next 3 to 4 days. Following the rain, the heat will return to Delhi, with temperatures potentially reaching 36°C. In the cities of Uttar Pradesh, the mercury could climb to 37°C, while in Madhya Pradesh, it is likely to approach the 38°C mark. As April begins, the summer heat is expected to intensify even further.
Overall, March 26th will present two distinct weather scenarios. While Delhi-NCR will experience some relief from the rains, temperatures in UP and MP will continue to rise steadily. The heat may intensify further in the coming days; therefore, people are advised to remain vigilant.
