Weekly Weather Forecast: Hot Mumbai, Sunny North, Early Chennai Rain

Mumbai: Extreme heat forecast to continue all week

Mumbai is forecast to see extreme heat every day from Saturday, 7 November, to Friday, 13 November, and the chance of rain is 10% on each of those days. The weekend of Saturday, 7 and Sunday, 8 November, falls within that stretch, so weekend plans in the city should allow for the heat. The maximum temperature on Saturday, 7 November, is forecast at 36°C, the highest daytime figure of the period, which makes heat the main factor to weigh when planning outdoor activities in Mumbai.

North India: Sunny days forecast across the whole week

Delhi and Lucknow are forecast to be sunny every day from Saturday, 7 November, to Friday, 13 November, with a 10% chance of rain on each day in both cities. The weekend of Saturday, 7 and Sunday, 8 November, is sunny in both places, which suits outdoor plans in the north. The sunny pattern does not change from day to day in either city, which makes the week straightforward for scheduling. In Delhi, the minimum temperature on Wednesday, 11 November, is forecast at 15°C, the lowest minimum of the week there.

South India: Weekend showers, then sunnier days

Chennai starts the period unsettled and then turns sunny. Saturday, 7 November, is forecast as sunny with occasional rain and a 60% chance of rain, and Sunday, 8 November, is similar with a 50% chance, so an umbrella is useful for weekend outings. From Monday, 9 November, to Friday, 13 November, the forecast is sunny, with a 10% chance of rain on each day. The maximum temperature on Saturday, 7 November, is forecast at 31°C, and the sunny days that follow bring little change in temperature through the end of the week.
