New Delhi, India — March 31, 2026
Weather conditions across North India are undergoing a noticeable transition as the region moves from winter into early summer, bringing a mix of rising daytime temperatures, cool mornings, and localized cloud activity.
According to the India Meteorological Department, varying weather patterns are being observed across states, with plains warming up while hill regions continue to experience cold conditions and occasional snowfall.
North India Sees Mixed Weather Patterns
In Uttar Pradesh, mornings and nights remain mildly cool, while daytime temperatures are gradually increasing under stronger sunlight. Several districts are recording above-normal maximum temperatures. However, western parts of the state may see intermittent cloud cover and light drizzle due to weak western disturbances.
Delhi is currently experiencing dry weather conditions, with mild warmth during the day and slight chill in the early morning hours. Air quality levels continue to fluctuate, adding to urban weather concerns.
Similar conditions prevail in Haryana and Punjab, where mornings remain cool and days are moderately warm with mostly clear skies. However, cloud formation may occur in isolated areas due to changing atmospheric conditions.
Heat Intensifies in Rajasthan
Rajasthan is witnessing a steady rise in temperatures, especially in western regions where heat is becoming more pronounced. The weather remains largely dry, with sharp contrasts between warm days and relatively cooler nights.
Experts note that this pattern is typical of seasonal transition, but the intensity of daytime heat may increase further in the coming days.
Cold Conditions Persist in Hill States
In contrast, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand continue to experience cold weather, particularly in higher altitudes where snowfall remains possible.
Lower regions may see light rainfall or cloudy skies. Tourist destinations in these states are still experiencing chilly winds during mornings and evenings, maintaining a winter-like feel.
Kashmir and Ladakh Remain Cold
Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh are still under the influence of colder climatic conditions. The Kashmir Valley continues to record low minimum temperatures, with snow cover persisting in higher elevations.
In Ladakh, cold winds dominate, although sunny daytime conditions provide limited relief from the chill.
Eastern Plains Gradually Warming
In Bihar, temperatures are steadily rising, marking the onset of warmer conditions. Mornings remain slightly cool, but daytime heat is increasing across districts. Light fog has been reported in some riverbank areas during early hours.
Seasonal Transition Clearly Visible
Overall, North India is currently in a transitional phase, shifting from winter to summer. Plains are experiencing warmer days and cooler nights, while mountainous regions continue to feel the effects of cold weather and snowfall.
The IMD indicates that temperatures are expected to rise gradually in the coming days. However, the possibility of rain or cloud cover remains, especially if western disturbances become active again.
Outlook for the Coming Days
Meteorologists suggest that fluctuating weather conditions will persist in the short term. While heat will intensify in plains like Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, occasional cloud activity or light rainfall may bring temporary relief.
Residents are advised to stay prepared for changing temperatures, particularly during early mornings and late evenings, and to monitor official weather updates for sudden changes.
