A look at the weather forecast for India for the entire week:

North India - The week is expected to begin on a rainy note for North India. Rain will be moderate to heavy, both in the plains as well as in the hills. Snowfall in Jammu and Kashmir and rain in Delhi, Haryana, Punjab and Rajasthan is expected to last till 12th March. Weather in North India is expected to turn dry thereafter and the maximums will shoot up, reaching 30⁰C. Minimums too will settle in the range of 13⁰C to 15⁰C. The week will end with isolated rain/snow over Jammu and Kashmir on the weekend, due to another Western Disturbance.

East and Northeast India - Weather in East India as well as in Northeast India will experience a lull. Rain is expected to occur only in parts of west Uttar Pradesh till the morning of 12th March. States of Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal will experience dry and warm weather with maximums during the day recording between 28⁰C and 31⁰C. Sun will be harsh in the hilly regions of Northeast India as well. However, light easterly winds could make early morning hours quite pleasant in Northeast India, between 14⁰C to 16⁰C.

Central India - According to the latest weather update by Skymet's Meteorological Division, rain is likely in Central India till the middle of the week, i.e. till 12th March, particularly in Maharashtra. Rain will occur mainly due to two cyclonic circulations, one around Gujarat and the other around Odisha. Adjoining states of Chhattisgarh and Odisha are also expected to receive rain due to the same systems. Rain will start to ease from 13th onwards, becoming minimal on till the 15th of March. In view of rain and clouds, temperatures in Maharashtra will settle 6 to 8 degrees below normal, at around 28⁰C. Gujarat on the other hand, will observe maximums recording 35⁰C and above.

South India - Other than Telangana, which could receive good showers for the next two days, weather in South India will be dry and warm this week with little or no chances of rain. Warm easterly winds from the Bay of Bengal will make the days unbearably humid at times. Maximums and minimums will rise slowly as we head into the month of March. While the maximums will broadly be between 32⁰C and 36⁰C in most parts, minimums will settle between 22⁰C and 24⁰C this week in the absence of rain.
