On Monday, residents of Delhi, India, experienced much-needed rainfall, providing relief from the oppressive summer heat. This downpour follows similar showers over the weekend, suggesting a shift in weather patterns. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecasted that May 2026 will see above-normal rainfall across the country, although temperature conditions will vary significantly. While many regions are expected to have normal to below-normal maximum temperatures, some areas in southern peninsular India and parts of the northeast may experience above-normal heat. The IMD also issued a heatwave warning for regions including the foothills of the Himalayas and states like Gujarat and Maharashtra. Broader climate indicators suggest a transition towards El Nino conditions, which could influence rainfall and temperature patterns during the upcoming monsoon season.
