The weather across India on September 20, 2025, is expected to vary, with Delhi and NCR facing heat, while other regions like Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and parts of the Northeast will see rains due to the return of the southwest monsoon.
Delhi-NCR weather: Scorching heat with some relief in the afternoon
Residents of Delhi and NCR are grappling with increasing heat, with no immediate respite. According to the Meteorological Department, the hot conditions are likely to persist for the next few days. On September 20, 2025 (Saturday), the capital city will experience temperatures reaching a maximum of 36°C and a minimum of 26°C. While the heat will continue, clouds are expected to form in the afternoon, providing some relief to the residents.
The southwest monsoon is expected to make a return across several states. Additionally, an upper air cyclonic circulation has formed over Northwest Uttar Pradesh and surrounding areas, creating a weather system conducive to rain.
The north-south trough will extend from central Uttar Pradesh, crossing through Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Vidarbha at an altitude of 1.5 km above sea level. This means that many parts of the country can expect showers.
