Delhi's weather forecast indicates a shift with a yellow alert for rain and gusty winds on May 11 and 12. This change is attributed to an approaching western disturbance, which is expected to maintain maximum temperatures at or below normal levels until at least May 14.
Maximum temperatures, which stood at 36.4°C on Friday (May 8, 2026), are predicted to hover between 35-37°C for much of the following week, with slight cooling expected by Tuesday. Experts suggest the first half of May will be comfortable, avoiding any heatwave conditions.
This May has been cooler than average, with some areas experiencing hailstorms earlier in the month. Past years have seen significantly higher May temperatures, with maximums often exceeding 40°C and even reaching over 45°C.
Meanwhile, Delhi's air quality remained in the 'satisfactory' range with an AQI of 100 on Friday, though it is forecast to return to the 'moderate' category over the weekend.
