Hyderabad: Thundershowers are likely in the afternoon or evening, with temperatures between 21°C and 30°C and humidity ranging from 68% to 87%. No weather warnings have been issued.

Chennai: Moderate rain and thunderstorms are likely, with temperatures ranging from 26°C to 35°C. Lightning may occur during storms.

Meanwhile, Cyclone Shakti, the season’s first cyclonic storm in the Arabian Sea, has intensified and is currently around 300 km west of Dwarka and 360 km west of Porbandar. Forecasts suggest it will strengthen into a severe cyclonic storm, potentially affecting rainfall in parts of Maharashtra.

The IMD has issued warnings for Mumbai, Thane, Palghar, Raigad, Ratnagiri, and Sindhudurg, with wind speeds of 45–55 km/h gusting up to 65 km/h expected along the North Maharashtra coast. Heavy to very heavy rainfall is likely in East Vidarbha and Marathwada, with flooding risks in low-lying areas of North Konkan. Fishermen are advised to remain ashore, and district administrations are activating disaster management systems and evacuation plans.

In Delhi-NCR, heavy rainfall was recorded early Monday, prompting an orange alert for Delhi and Gurugram, while Ghaziabad and Noida were under yellow alerts. A western disturbance over northwest India will bring strong winds (up to 50 km/h) and continued rainfall through the next two days. Minimum temperatures are expected to drop from Wednesday onwards due to cold northwesterly winds. Recent rainfall has also improved Delhi’s air quality, which had briefly returned to the ‘moderate’ category.
