Weather Today: 30 May 2025 Forecast for Major Indian Cities

India is heading into the peak of pre-monsoon summer, so today’s weather is a hot topic. Whether you’re heading to work in Delhi or planning an evening outing in Mumbai, knowing the weather today (30 May 2025) can help you stay prepared. We’ve compiled the latest forecasts for major cities – Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad, Pune, Jaipur, and Lucknow – including temperature highs and lows, humidity, and rain chances. For example, Times of India reports New Delhi will be hazy with a high around 38°C and low near 30°C. Across India, most cities remain hot and dry, though southern and northeastern regions may see some pre-monsoon showers as the monsoon advances.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) notes that by 29 May, the southwest monsoon had only reached parts of central and eastern India (Chhattisgarh and Odisha). In other words, cities like Delhi and Jaipur are still “ahead” of the monsoon and will feel more heat and haze than rain. Overall, expect a very warm day in the north and west, with slightly more humidity and clouds in the south. We break down today’s weather by region and city below – read on for all the details and stay cool out there!

Northern India (Delhi, Lucknow, Jaipur)

Northern cities remain very hot and mostly dry on 30 May. In New Delhi, a hazy sky is expected with little chance of rain. According to the Times of India forecast, Delhi’s high will reach about 38°C with a low around 30°C. This haze is typical of Delhi at this time of year. The IMD confirms the skies will be generally cloudy with potential thunderstorms in the evening, but the maximum should still top out near 36–38°C. In short, Delhi will be hot and humid with haze – not exactly monsoon weather.

Nearby Lucknow (in Uttar Pradesh) will be just as hot. Today’s forecast calls for haze and a high around 38°C as well, with a low near 26°C. Humidity in Lucknow is moderate (around 70%), so it will feel very warm. Rain is virtually unlikely (rain chance just ~1%). Similarly, Jaipur in Rajasthan will see hazy summer heat – around 38°C high and 30°C low. Humidity there is actually low (about 51%), but the extreme temperature means any shade is welcome. Like Delhi, Jaipur’s skies may feature some clouds, but rain is practically zero (about 0.25% chance).

Key takeaways for northern cities: Expect hot, hazy weather today. Delhi and Jaipur will hit about 38°C, Lucknow also ~38°C. Nights remain warm (around 26–30°C). Rain is extremely unlikely (near 0–1% chance), so you can plan outdoor activities without worrying about storms.

Western India (Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad)

On the west coast and nearby interior, conditions are hot but slightly more humid. In Mumbai, early morning mist is expected (actually a bit surprising for May!), but the heat builds quickly. Times of India forecasts a morning misty start with a high of about 32°C and low 27°C. The humidity in Mumbai is quite high (around 81%), so it may feel warmer, but winds from the sea keep it slightly cooler than the hinterland. AccuWeather’s monthly outlook also shows Mumbai’s high around 93°F (34°C) with a low of 79°F (26°C), which matches well. In short, Mumbai will be warm and humid, around 33–34°C peak, with near-0% chance of rain.

Pune, a bit inland in Maharashtra, will be cloudier but still warm. The city’s forecast is mostly cloudy skies with a high near 31°C and low about 24°C. Like Mumbai, Pune’s humidity is high (~86%), making it feel muggy. Rain is not expected (0% chance), so it’s a dry day despite the clouds.

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) will experience hazy sunshine and heat. Today’s forecast calls for haze and a high of 36°C with a low of 27°C. Humidity (~76%) is moderate, but it’s still very hot. Rain chances are nil. Notably, Ahmedabad’s late afternoon highs might even reach ~39°C (as per the weekly outlook). This heat is typical for May in northwestern India.

Key takeaways for western cities: Mumbai and Pune will be warm and humid (highs ~32–34°C). Ahmedabad will be hot and dry (high ~36°C). All three cities have essentially zero rain chance today, so expect dry conditions everywhere in the west. The UV index is low (around 0–1), but sun protection is still wise under clear skies.

Eastern India (Kolkata)

In the east, Kolkata will see hot and humid conditions. Precise forecasts for Kolkata today are best found on meteorology sites, but based on AccuWeather, we expect a daytime high around 94°F (34°C) and a low near 83°F (28°C). This suggests temperatures in the mid-30s Celsius. Nighttime lows are relatively high (~28°C), indicating warm nights. Humidity will be high (Kolkata is already in the tropical climate zone), so it will feel very sticky. The risk of rain is low to moderate; AccuWeather’s long range summary for Kolkata hints at the possibility of scattered showers by day’s end (especially given the pre-monsoon front approaching). You may want an umbrella later in the day just in case.

Key takeaway: Kolkata is hot (mid-30s°C) and humid today. There might be spotty rain or evening drizzle, but most of the day looks dry. Keep cool and hydrated!

Southern India (Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad)

In the south, conditions vary by city but generally feature warm temperatures with higher humidity and some cloud cover. In Bengaluru (Bangalore), the forecast calls for mostly cloudy skies and mild heat. Expect a high of about 26°C and a low around 22°C. Bengaluru’s humidity is quite high (~88%), so it will feel humid even if the thermometer isn’t blistering. There is a small chance of rain (~13.5%), which matches IMD’s outlook of isolated showers in interior Karnataka. In fact, the IMD warns of isolated heavy rain over North Interior Karnataka today. So a brief thunderstorm in Bengaluru isn’t out of the question late afternoon or evening.

Hyderabad (Telangana) will have cooler temperatures early on but heat up later. The morning may start at 25°C (Mist), but the forecast high is about 29°C with humidity ~87%. Rain chance is low (3%), so expect a dry day. Hyderabad’s evening will warm up to ~32°C (per the city’s short-range outlook). No thunderstorms are expected in Hyderabad today, unlike its neighboring states.

Chennai (Tamil Nadu) will be hot and hazy. Today’s forecast shows haze with a high near 37°C and low about 29°C. The humidity (70%) is moderate but still high, so it feels sultry. There’s only a tiny rain chance (~1.8%), so it should stay dry. Chennai’s weekly outlook suggests a chance of scattered showers by the afternoon, but for 30 May specifically, it looks mainly sunny to hazy with that 37°C peak.

Key takeaways for southern cities: Bengaluru sees cloudy, humid weather (high ~26°C) with some chance of a brief shower. Chennai and Hyderabad will be hot (mid-30s°C) and mostly dry today. A stray thunderstorm might pop up in the interior (especially Bangalore area) later in the day according to IMD, but most activities will be under warm skies.
