The IMD’s seven‑day outlook points to a steady climb in daytime highs, reaching 34–36 °C in Delhi and adjoining areas by early October, while night temperatures remain in the low‑twenty range.
Meanwhile, pockets of rain will persist in the northern foothills: Uttarakhand may see isolated showers until October 4, and Jammu & Kashmir could experience thunderstorms from October 2‑4.
In the east, the Northeast remains drenched, with Assam, Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Tripura forecast to receive rainfall through early October, some locales warning of potential floods.
Southern India, however, faces the most intense precipitation, with Tamil Nadu, Kerala and interior Karnataka slated for heavy showers in the next four to five days, raising concerns for irrigation and transport.
The monsoon’s gradual retreat from the west signals a turnover in the country’s weather pattern, prompting authorities to issue advisories for farmers and commuters amid the contrasting dry‑rain divide.
