Weather Update: IMD Forecasts Heavy Rain, Thunderstorms and Gusty Winds in Delhi, Assam, Kerala, Himachal, Uttarakhand, Odisha, Bihar, Jharkhand & More – Full Forecast Here

As June approaches, India is experiencing a mix of weather phenomena influenced by weakening low-pressure systems, western disturbances, and active troughs across various regions. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast widespread rainfall, thunderstorms, gusty winds, and fluctuating temperatures across the country from June 1 to 4, 2025. Here are the details

Northeast India: Heavy Rainfall to Continue

The weakening depression over Bangladesh has moved through Meghalaya and now lingers as a cyclonic circulation over Arunachal Pradesh. Under its influence, Northeast India is set for a wet spell, with several states expected to witness heavy to very heavy rainfall.

*Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram & Tripura

The IMD has advised residents in the Northeast to remain alert for possible landslides, waterlogging, and disruptions due to thunderstorms.

South Peninsular India: Thunderstorms and Gusty Winds Ahead

South India, especially Kerala, Karnataka, and Coastal Andhra Pradesh, is likely to experience scattered heavy rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and gusty winds (up to 50 kmph) over the coming days.

People in these areas should take precautions against lightning, wind damage, and local flooding.

Northwest India: Rain, Storms & Dust Storms Likely

Due to multiple western disturbances and troughs, Northwest India is expected to see a mix of rain, thunderstorms, gusty winds, and even dust storms in some parts. Notably, regions like Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand are forecasted to receive isolated heavy rainfall.

Residents, especially in hilly terrain and arid regions, should stay vigilant against landslides and dust-related air quality concerns.

West India: Heavy Rains in Konkan & Goa

The Konkan coast and Goa are expected to experience increased rainfall activity, particularly between June 1 and 3. According to the forecast, this region will likely receive light to moderate rain, with isolated instances of heavy rainfall during this period.

These showers signal a pre-monsoon build-up and are expected to bring much-needed relief to the region following a prolonged dry spell.

East & Central India: Scattered Rainfall with Thunderstorms

Parts of East and Central India are likely to see scattered rainfall, thunderstorms, and gusty winds till June 1. States like Bihar, Jharkhand, and Odisha are expected to receive isolated heavy rainfall.

These pre-monsoon showers will help prepare the ground for the onset of the monsoon while also providing temporary heat relief.

Delhi-NCR Weather: Cloudy Skies and Light Rain Till June 3

Delhi-NCR will see a noticeable drop in temperature and increased cloudiness through the weekend and into early next week. Light rain and gusty winds up to 60 kmph are expected almost daily, bringing some relief from the scorching heat.

Minimum temperatures will remain slightly above normal, while maximums may drop by 3–5°C below seasonal averages.

Temperature Trends Across India

The IMD also noted important trends in maximum temperatures across regions:

With the pre-monsoon activity picking up, these fluctuations are expected as cloud cover and rainfall influence day-time heating. IMD has advised residents to follow local weather updates and official advisories to stay safe and plan accordingly.
