India doesn't have one weather — it has several running at once. While Delhi shivers in fog, Chennai can be under its heaviest rain; while Kerala welcomes the monsoon, Rajasthan is still baking. This calendar shows what usually happens across the country in each month. The current month is highlighted.
The coldest month across the north. Dense fog blankets the Indo-Gangetic plains, delaying trains and flights, and cold-wave nights are common in Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh.
Western disturbances bring snow to Kashmir, Himachal and Uttarakhand. The south stays dry, sunny and pleasant — peak season for Goa and Kerala.
Fog fades and days warm up quickly. A passing western disturbance can still bring rain, thunderstorms or hail to the north-west — sometimes damaging the standing wheat crop.
For most of India this is the most comfortable travel month of the year.
Summer begins. Central India, Vidarbha and Odisha start crossing 38–40 °C by the end of the month, and the first heatwave alerts appear.
In the northeast, pre-monsoon thunderstorms begin — Assam and Meghalaya get rain long before the rest of the country.
Heat builds across the plains. Evening nor'westers — Kalbaishakhi in Bengal — bring squalls, lightning and hail to the east and northeast.
Kerala and coastal Karnataka get "mango showers", short pre-monsoon storms that cool the evenings.
The hottest month for most of north and central India. Rajasthan's desert can top 45 °C, and hot, dusty loo winds blow across the plains in the afternoon.
Bay of Bengal cyclones are a risk for Odisha, Bengal and Bangladesh, and the monsoon usually reaches the Andaman Sea in the second half of the month.
The southwest monsoon reaches Kerala around 1 June and races north — Mumbai and Kolkata usually by the second week, Delhi around the last week.
Until the rain arrives, the north-west stays hot and humid; the weeks just before onset are often the most uncomfortable of the year.
The monsoon usually covers the whole country by around 8 July. For much of India, July is the wettest month.
The Konkan coast and Western Ghats get extremely heavy rain, and landslides close roads in Himachal, Uttarakhand and the northeast.
Peak monsoon continues, but in "breaks" — dry spells of several days when rain shifts to the Himalayan foothills.
River floods are common in Assam and north Bihar, and cloudbursts can strike the mountains with little warning.
The monsoon starts withdrawing from west Rajasthan around 17 September, and the north-west dries out first.
Central and eastern India can still see heavy late-season spells. Humid, sticky days return between showers.
The monsoon has usually left the whole country by mid-October, and the northeast monsoon sets in over Tamil Nadu around the third week.
Nights cool down in the north — and air quality starts to worsen as winds drop and crop-residue burning begins. Mumbai's "October heat" is humid and uncomfortable.
Smog season peaks in Delhi-NCR and across the Indo-Gangetic plains, with "Very Poor" to "Severe" AQI on bad days.
Chennai and coastal Tamil Nadu get their wettest month, and Bay of Bengal cyclones can hit the east coast.
Winter sets in. Fog returns to the northern plains, cold waves begin, and hill stations may get their first snow.
The south is warm and dry after the northeast monsoon — prime season for beaches, backwaters and wildlife parks.
Typical patterns based on India Meteorological Department (IMD) climatology — every year is different. For live conditions, open your city page.

The southwest monsoon brings around three-quarters of India's yearly rain in just four months. It doesn't arrive everywhere at once — it advances from the southern tip to the north-west over about five weeks, in two branches: one from the Arabian Sea up the west coast, and one from the Bay of Bengal into the northeast and the Gangetic plains. These are IMD's normal dates; actual onset often varies by a week or more.
The first rains reach the Andaman Islands and Sri Lanka.
The official start of India's monsoon — Thiruvananthapuram and Kochi.
Mangaluru, Goa and, via the Bay branch, Guwahati and Shillong.
Mumbai's monsoon is a city event; Kolkata and Hyderabad follow around the same time.
Delhi, with Jaipur and Chandigarh close behind.
West Rajasthan — Jaisalmer, Bikaner — is usually the last to get rain.
The monsoon retreats from the north-west first and has usually left the country by around mid-October.
Winds reverse, and Chennai, Tamil Nadu and Puducherry get their main rainy season.
In summer the land heats up far faster than the Indian Ocean. Hot air rises over the subcontinent, and moist ocean air is drawn in to replace it. When that air hits the Western Ghats and the Himalaya, it is forced upward, cools and drops its water as rain.
The Western Ghats wring most of the moisture out of the Arabian Sea winds. The windward side — Mahabaleshwar, Coorg, Lonavala — gets several metres of rain; the leeward side — Pune, Solapur, Bengaluru — sits in a "rain shadow" and gets far less.
In July and August, rain sometimes stops over central India for a week or more while the monsoon trough shifts north to the Himalayan foothills. Breaks bring heat and humidity to the plains — and floods to the hills and north Bihar.
From −20 °C nights in Ladakh to steamy coastal afternoons in Kerala, India spans almost every climate on Earth. Altitude, distance from the sea and the shape of the mountains decide which one you live in.
Weather is set by altitude: mild summers, snowy winters, and in Ladakh and Spiti almost no rain at all. Conditions can change within hours.
The most extreme seasons in India: 45 °C heatwaves, a humid monsoon, then fog and smog in winter. Flat land lets heat, cold and pollution spread far.
India's hottest summers and biggest day–night swings. The monsoon arrives last and leaves first, and some years it barely arrives at all.
Warm and humid all year with very little winter. The monsoon here is among the heaviest anywhere in the world, especially on the hills.
Height and the rain shadow of the Ghats give mild, drier weather — pleasant in Bengaluru, but very hot summers further north in Vidarbha and Telangana.
Hot and humid, with two rainy seasons in the south. Bay of Bengal cyclones are a real risk in May and from October to December.
The longest rainy season in India — from April to October — with the wettest places on Earth on the Meghalaya plateau and big Brahmaputra floods below.
Almost the same temperature all year, high humidity and long rainy seasons. Sea conditions matter more than temperature for travel.

See the estimated air quality for tomorrow in every city we cover, on India's CPCB scale — from Good to Severe — with PM2.5, PM10 and health advice. From October to January, check the Delhi-NCR forecast and GRAP stages before you plan the day.
The India Meteorological Department issues district-level warnings in four colours. The colour reflects how severe the weather is expected to be and how much it could affect daily life — so it's worth knowing what each one asks you to do.
No action
No significant weather expected. Carry on as usual.
Be aware
Weather could turn bad over the next few days. Keep checking updates before travel or outdoor plans.
Be prepared
Severe weather is likely, with possible disruption to roads, rail, power and daily life. Plan ahead and avoid risky trips.
Take action
Extremely severe weather is expected. Follow instructions from local authorities and the state disaster management authority.
For the plains, IMD declares a heatwave when the maximum reaches at least 40 °C and is about 4.5 °C or more above normal — or when it simply touches 45 °C. Hill stations qualify at 30 °C and coastal places at 37 °C, because people there aren't used to the heat.
In the plains, a cold wave is declared when the minimum falls to 10 °C or below and is about 4.5 °C or more under normal, or when it drops to 4 °C or lower. Damp cold with fog can feel worse than the number suggests.
For a cyclone heading to the coast, IMD issues a pre-cyclone watch, then a cyclone alert, a cyclone warning and finally a post-landfall outlook. Each stage narrows down where and when it will hit — follow evacuation orders promptly.
Summary for general understanding; IMD's own criteria include more detail. For live warnings, see mausam.imd.gov.in or the Mausam app. Tomorrow Weather does not issue warnings.
A forecast packs a lot into a few numbers. Here's how to turn them into decisions: when to carry an umbrella, when to skip the midday walk, and when to change your plans.
It means that in situations like this one, it rains at your location on about 6 days out of 10. It does not mean it will rain for 60% of the day, or over 60% of the city.
IMD classes rain by the total that falls at a place in 24 hours:
| Light | 2.5–15.5 mm |
|---|---|
| Moderate | 15.6–64.4 mm |
| Heavy | 64.5–115.5 mm |
| Very heavy | 115.6–204.4 mm |
| Extremely heavy | 204.5 mm or more |
1 mm of rain = 1 litre of water on every square metre.
How strong the sun's burning rays are at midday. In India it often reaches 10+ in summer, and it's high at altitude even when the air feels cool.
| 0–2 Low | No protection needed |
|---|---|
| 3–5 Moderate | Shade around noon |
| 6–7 High | Hat, sunscreen, shade |
| 8–10 Very high | Avoid 11 am–3 pm sun |
| 11+ Extreme | Stay out of direct sun |
The high usually comes mid-afternoon; the low just before sunrise. "Feels like" adds humidity and wind: at 35 °C with sticky coastal air, your body can feel 40 °C or more because sweat can't evaporate. A big gap between high and low usually means clear, dry skies.
India's AQI runs from 0 to 500 in six bands — Good, Satisfactory, Moderate, Poor, Very Poor and Severe. Above 200 ("Poor"), most people start to feel it on long exposure; above 300, cut outdoor exercise. See tomorrow's AQI for every city.
A forecast is the output of a physics simulation. Weather agencies collect millions of measurements — from satellites, weather balloons, radar, ships, aircraft and ground stations — and feed them into numerical weather prediction models. These models divide the atmosphere into a 3-D grid and solve the equations of air movement, heat and moisture, stepping forward in time to project how the sky will evolve.
The atmosphere is chaotic: tiny errors in today's measurements grow day by day. That's why a 1-day forecast is far more reliable than a 7-day one, and why forecasts are re-run several times a day with fresh data.
Different apps use different models (global ones like ECMWF and GFS, or regional ones), different grid sizes and different update times. Small differences — a degree or two, or a rain chance of 40% vs 60% — are normal.
Monsoon showers and summer thunderstorms are often smaller than a model's grid box. A model can know a storm is likely in your area, but not which neighbourhood it will hit — so "chance of rain" matters more than a yes/no answer.
This site uses forecast data from Open-Meteo, which combines models from national weather services, and air-quality forecasts from the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service.
Check tomorrow's rain amount, not just the chance: in Mumbai or Bengaluru, a 70 mm day means flooded underpasses and slow trains. In winter, check fog in the north before an early flight or train.
Avoid spraying pesticide or fertiliser if rain is likely within a day — it washes off. Use the 7-day outlook to plan sowing after a good spell of rain, and protect nurseries before hail-prone storms in spring.
In the hills, the forecast for your destination matters more than for the town you start from. For Kedarnath, Vaishno Devi or Spiti, check rain, snow and wind before leaving, and keep a buffer day for closed roads.
On days above 40 °C or with very high humidity, shift hard work to early morning, drink water before you feel thirsty and take shade breaks. Heat illness is preventable.
Check tomorrow's AQI as well as the weather in winter: on "Poor" or worse days, move sport indoors. In heatwaves, schedule outdoor activities before 10 am.
For an outdoor wedding or match, watch the 7-day trend first, then trust the 1–2 day forecast. In the monsoon, plan for a covered backup whatever the forecast says.

Yes. Every city page shows an estimated AQI for the last 24 hours and for tomorrow on India's CPCB scale, and the AQI page ranks all cities by tomorrow's air quality. The estimate is calculated from PM2.5 and PM10 forecasts by the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service; for official station readings, check CPCB.
By IMD's normal dates, the monsoon reaches Kerala around 1 June, Mumbai and Kolkata in the second week of June, Delhi around 27 June and the whole country by about 8 July. It starts withdrawing from the north-west around 17 September. Actual dates often vary by a week or more — each city page describes its own rainy season.
Green means no warning. Yellow means 'be aware' — bad weather is possible, so keep checking. Orange means 'be prepared' — severe weather is likely and could disrupt travel, power and daily life. Red means 'take action' — extremely severe weather is expected, so follow local authorities' instructions.
It means that in weather situations like this one, rain falls at your location roughly 6 times out of 10. It doesn't mean it will rain for 60% of the day or over 60% of the city. Above about 60%, it's worth planning for rain and checking the expected amount in millimetres.
Next-day forecasts are the most reliable part of any forecast, especially for temperature. Exact rain timing and amounts are harder to predict, particularly for monsoon showers and thunderstorms, so check again on the morning itself and follow IMD warnings for severe weather.
Apps use different weather models, grid sizes and update times, so differences of a degree or two — or in the chance of rain — are normal, especially several days ahead.
