Weekly weather forecast: Mostly sunny, rain in Chennai on 18 November

Delhi and Lucknow: sunny all week, Delhi minimum 12°C

Sunny weather is forecast in Delhi and Lucknow every day from Friday 13 to Thursday 19 November, including the weekend of Saturday 14 and Sunday 15. The chance of rain is 10% each day in both cities.

A high-pressure system near both cities on Friday 13 November supports the dry, sunny start. Delhi's minimum temperature is forecast at 12°C on Wednesday 18 November, the lowest point of the period in the capital. The weekend begins with the same sunny, dry pattern in both cities.

Mumbai: sunny until Wednesday, extreme heat Thursday

Mumbai is forecast to be sunny from Friday 13 to Wednesday 18 November, including the weekend of Saturday 14 and Sunday 15. That gives six consecutive sunny days at the start of the forecast period, all with a 10% chance of rain.

Thursday 19 November brings extreme heat, with a maximum temperature of 35°C. The chance of rain is also 10% that day, so the main weather point for Mumbai during the forecast period is the heat on the last day rather than any rain.

Chennai: sunny start, occasional rain on Wednesday

Chennai is forecast to be sunny from Friday 13 to Tuesday 17 November, including the weekend of Saturday 14 and Sunday 15, with a 10% chance of rain. Wednesday 18 November is the one change, with sunny weather and occasional rain, a 60% chance of rain and small rainfall amounts. Carry an umbrella if you are out that day.

Thursday 19 November returns to sunny conditions, so rain is limited to that one day in the seven-day period. Chennai's maximum temperature is forecast at 31°C on Wednesday 18 November.
