People traveling in heavy rain

Northwestern India is experiencing a drastic weather change, bringing heavy rain and thunderstorms to large parts of Rajasthan, and this is expected to intensify in the coming days. However, the weather was most pronounced in Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, where heavy rain accompanied by a strong thunderstorm occurred during the day on Saturday (May 2, 2026). Meanwhile, images of drastic weather changes have also emerged from Mussoorie and Khatima in Uttarakhand.

On Saturday (May 2nd), dark clouds covered the sky in many parts of Mussoorie and Khatima, accompanied by strong winds and lightning, and heavy rain, while hail fell in some areas. This change in weather has brought relief to people from the intense heat that has persisted for the past several days. According to data from the Indian Meteorological Department, this drastic change in weather is currently affecting parts of Haryana, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh and is gradually moving southward toward northern Madhya Pradesh.

Thunderstorms, rain, and lightning struck several districts of Rajasthan.

Weather experts say that several districts in Rajasthan are currently experiencing strong thunderstorms, heavy rain, and lightning. Scattered rain and localized thunderstorm activity are also increasing in some areas of Haryana and northern Madhya Pradesh as the weather system rapidly expands.

Will it rain in Delhi-NCR?

According to the Meteorological Department, despite the significant weather changes being observed in many surrounding areas, the weather in Delhi-NCR remains clear for the time being. However, the Meteorological Department has warned that this situation may change soon.

The IMD said that a large and active trough, which is the main cause of the current instability, is strengthening over the region. This trough is drawing moisture-laden winds from both the Arabian Sea and the Bay of Bengal, contributing to the worsening of the weather.

There may be a drastic change in the weather between May 4 and 7.

According to meteorologists , several strong western disturbances could become active between May 4 and May 7, 2026. These weather systems could impact large parts of northwest India, bringing heavy rain, thunderstorms, and strong winds. However, the biggest question for Delhi-NCR is timing. While the skies are currently clear, the potential for rain and storms is increasing in the coming days due to the active systems nearby.
