The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast an active wet spell for Delhi on March 29, 2026. A Yellow Alert is currently in place as the city prepares for light rain and gusty winds. This weather activity is being driven by back-to-back western disturbances affecting the northwest region of India.
What should residents expect on March 29?
Delhi is predicted to experience generally cloudy skies with light rain or drizzle. The intensity of the wet spell is expected to peak between March 29 and 30. Along with the rain, residents should be prepared for thunderstorms and lightning in several areas.
- Light rain or drizzle is expected across various parts of the city
- Gusty winds are likely to blow at speeds of 30-40 kmph
- The Yellow Alert suggests staying aware of potential weather disruptions during the day
How will this impact the temperature in Delhi?
The temperature in Delhi is set to fluctuate due to the incoming rain. While some estimates put the maximum temperature around 30-34 degrees Celsius, the widespread rainfall could bring daytime mercury down to the mid-20s. This cooling effect is expected to provide some relief before temperatures rise again in early April.
| Weather Parameter | Expected Range/Condition |
|---|---|
| Maximum Temperature | 30-34 degrees Celsius |
| Minimum Temperature | 19-22 degrees Celsius |
| Wind Speed | 30-40 kmph |
| Rainfall Type | Light rain and Thunderstorms |
| Current Status | Yellow Alert Issued |
Experts suggest that the impact of the rainfall will keep daytime temperatures lower between March 29 and 31. Following this wet spell, temperatures are generally expected to rise gradually, with some forecasts for early April indicating a return to the low to mid-30s.
