Weekly Weather Forecast: Rain arrives in the south from 15 November

North: Sunny through the week, dry weekend

The north is forecast to be sunny from Wednesday, 11 November, to Tuesday, 17 November, with a 10% chance of rain on each of those days. The weekend, Saturday, 14 and Sunday, 15 November, is also forecast to be sunny, so weekend plans look dry. The weather itself changes little through the week; the notable shift comes at the very end, when the lowest temperature in Delhi on Tuesday, 17 November is forecast at 14°C, lower than on Monday, 16 November.

West: Extreme heat on Wednesday, then sunny

The west starts the period with its hottest day: Wednesday, 11 November is described as extreme heat, with a high of 35°C in Mumbai. From Thursday, 12 November, to Tuesday, 17 November, the forecast is sunny with a 10% chance of rain each day, and that includes the weekend of Saturday, 14 and Sunday, 15 November. Rain is not a factor in the forecast for this area during the period, so the heat is the main thing to watch when planning outdoor activities across the week.

South: Sunny to Saturday, rain from Sunday

The south is forecast to be sunny from Wednesday, 11 November, to Saturday, 14 November, with a 10% chance of rain each day. The weather turns on Sunday, 15 November, which is forecast to be sunny with occasional rain, a 50% chance of rain and small rainfall amounts. Rain is then forecast on Monday, 16 and Tuesday, 17 November, with a 90% chance each day and moderate rainfall totals. The weekend therefore splits, with a sunny Saturday, 14 November, and some rain on Sunday, 15 November, so carry an umbrella from Sunday, 15 November, to Tuesday, 17 November. The highest temperature in Chennai on Tuesday, 17 November is forecast at 29°C.
