Weather Analysis for New Delhi, India: May 26 to May 28, 2025

As we step into the final days of May, residents of New Delhi can expect a blend of scorching heat and a slight chance of rainfall. Weather enthusiasts and those planning outdoor activities should take note of the upcoming weather patterns over the next three days.

Day 1: May 26, 2025 (Monday)

The day begins with clear skies, and temperatures are predicted to reach a maximum of 38°C (100°F) and a minimum of 29°C (84°F). Expect plenty of sunshine throughout the day, offering an average temperature of 34°C (93°F). With 13.3 hours of sunshine, it's a perfect day for outdoor activities, yet the UV index will be moderate at 2.

In the early morning hours, the humidity level is around 45%, which may feel comfortable, but it’s expected to rise later in the day. Winds will be light, coming in at about 10 km/h (6 mph) from the east, contributing to a slightly hazy atmosphere during the afternoon.

As the day progresses, expect a few light rain showers as nighttime approaches, with the chance of rain peaking at 100% in the evening, leading into a breezy night with a final temperature of about 36°C (97°F). Visibility will remain clear with no significant obstacles, making it a wonderful evening for a stroll.

Day 2: May 27, 2025 (Tuesday)

Prepare for a scorching day ahead as temperatures are forecasted to soar to an unbearable 43°C (109°F) during the peak afternoon hours, with a low of 33°C (92°F). The average temperature remains high at 39°C (102°F). With only 13.9 sunshine hours, outdoor activities should be limited to the early morning and late evening hours to avoid the heat.

A major highlight for the day is the New Moon phase occurring, with the moon rising at 5:06 AM and setting at 7:49 PM. The wind will be calm, coming from the southeast at approximately 5 km/h (3 mph), which may provide a slight reprieve from the oppressive heat, but overall humidity will drop to around 17%.

With an extremely high UV index reaching 10, sun safety is paramount. If you're planning outdoor activities, make sure to wear sunscreen and hydrate adequately. There will be zero chance of precipitation, keeping the air dry and uncomfortable as the day wears on.

The heatwave continues to grip the city as temperatures peak at a staggering 46°C (114°F), with the minimum resting at 36°C (97°F). The average temperature remains oppressively high at 41°C (105°F). Residents should brace themselves for a day of intense heat with a UV index staying at 2 throughout the day.

Visibility will be excellent at up to 10 km, but with a humidity level of only 15%, the atmosphere will feel extremely dry and dusty, posing challenges for staying hydrated. Winds remain light, coming once again from the east, not providing much relief from the heat. Plan outdoor activities for the early morning or after sunset, as proceeding carelessly during peak hours can be detrimental to health.
