 Weather Update: March 10, 2025 - A Detailed Look Across Indian States and Cities

Welcome to your comprehensive weather blog for Monday, March 10, 2025! As we step into the second week of March, India is witnessing a fascinating mix of weather patterns—from rising temperatures signaling an early summer in some regions to cooler conditions and potential precipitation in others. Drawing from the latest updates and forecasts, here’s an in-depth look at the weather across Indian states and key cities today. Let’s dive in!

Northern India: Warming Up with a Hint of Relief

Delhi-NCR

Delhi is embracing warmer days as the mercury climbs steadily. Today, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicts a maximum temperature between 29°C and 32°C, with the minimum hovering around 12°C to 13°C. Expect partly cloudy skies throughout the day, accompanied by mist during the morning hours—a typical transitional phase as winter fades. Strong surface winds, clocking speeds of 20-30 kmph, are likely to sweep across the Indo-Gangetic Plains, including Delhi, offering some respite from the rising heat. Looking ahead, the IMD hints at light rainfall on March 14, which could cool things down momentarily.

Jammu and Kashmir

Up in the mountains, Jammu and Kashmir is experiencing a chilly day. The temperature today ranges from a biting minimum of -16.47°C to a maximum of -7.93°C. With a relative humidity of 40% and wind speeds around 40 km/h, it’s a crisp, cold day in the region. A new western disturbance is expected to influence the western Himalayan region starting today, potentially bringing isolated rain and snowfall through March 13. Bundle up if you’re in Srinagar or surrounding areas!

Uttarakhand

In contrast to its northern neighbor, Uttarakhand is milder today. The temperature in Dehradun and nearby areas ranges from a low of 10.55°C to a high of 24.18°C. With a relative humidity of 29% and gentle winds, it’s a pleasant day for outdoor activities. The western disturbance may bring some cloud cover or light precipitation to higher altitudes, but the plains should remain mostly dry.

Chandigarh

Chandigarh is feeling the early onset of summer. Today’s forecast shows a morning low of around 15°C and a daytime high nearing 32°C—about 5°C above last year’s March averages. The IMD warns of above-average temperatures throughout the month, raising concerns for agriculture and water resources. Clear skies dominate today, making it a warm one for residents.

Western India: Heat on the Horizon

Mumbai

Mumbai’s weather today is characteristically warm and humid. Temperatures are expected to range between 24°C and 33°C, with partly cloudy skies providing occasional relief from the sun. The coastal breeze keeps conditions manageable, but the city is gearing up for hotter days as March progresses. No significant rainfall is on the radar for today.

Pune

In Pune, the day starts comfortably at around 18°C, climbing to a high of 34°C. Clear skies and low humidity make it a bright, sunny day—perfect for a morning walk but calling for hydration by afternoon. Like much of Maharashtra, Pune is seeing a gradual uptick in temperatures, aligning with seasonal shifts.

Madhya Pradesh

Madhya Pradesh, particularly cities like Bhopal and Indore, is heating up fast. Today, daytime temperatures have crossed 36°C in many areas, with nights remaining relatively warm at around 20°C. The IMD notes this marks a significant rise from recent cooler spells, and the heat is expected to intensify further by March 15. Stay cool and avoid peak afternoon sun if you’re in the region!

Eastern India: Mild and Stable

Kolkata

Kolkata today sees temperatures between 22°C and 32°C, with a humid undertone typical of its climate. Partly cloudy skies might offer some shade, but there’s no immediate rain in the forecast. The city’s weather remains stable, though residents should prepare for warmer conditions as the month unfolds.

Odisha

In Bhubaneswar, the day is warm with temperatures ranging from 23°C to 34°C. Clear skies dominate, and humidity levels are moderate. Coastal areas like Puri may feel a touch cooler thanks to sea breezes, but inland regions are firmly in summer’s grip.

Southern India: Warm and Steady

Bengaluru

Bengaluru enjoys a pleasant day with temperatures between 20°C and 30°C. Partly cloudy skies and a light breeze make it comfortable, though the city is trending warmer than usual for early March. No rain is expected today, keeping things dry for residents and visitors alike.

Chennai

Chennai’s weather is hot and humid, with temperatures ranging from 25°C to 34°C. Coastal humidity pushes the “feels-like” temperature higher, but partly cloudy skies might temper the heat slightly. No precipitation is forecast, so it’s business as usual under the southern sun.

Hyderabad

Hyderabad sees a warm day with a low of 22°C and a high of 35°C. Clear skies and minimal humidity make it a dry, sunny day. The city is following the regional trend of rising temperatures, with little relief expected until seasonal rains arrive later in the year.

Northeastern India: Cool and Calm

Assam (Guwahati)

Guwahati today ranges from 18°C to 28°C, with partly cloudy skies and a gentle breeze. The weather remains pleasant, with no significant changes anticipated. The Northeast is largely shielded from the western disturbance affecting the Himalayas, keeping conditions stable.

Key Trends and Insights

Rising Heat: Across much of India—Delhi, Chandigarh, Madhya Pradesh, and southern cities like Hyderabad—temperatures are climbing, hinting at an early and hotter-than-usual summer. The IMD’s forecast of above-average temperatures for March could strain winter crops like wheat and chickpea.

Western Disturbance: A fresh western disturbance is active from today, impacting Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and parts of Uttarakhand with potential rain and snow through March 13. This contrasts sharply with the warming plains below.

Air Quality Note: In Delhi-NCR, while weather conditions are shifting, air quality remains a concern. Recent “poor” AQI levels prompted Stage-I measures under the Graded Response Action Plan—something to watch as temperatures rise.

Final Thoughts

March 10, 2025, paints a diverse weather picture across India. Northern plains and western states are warming up fast, while the Himalayas brace for a cold, possibly wet spell. Southern and eastern regions hold steady with their warm, dry conditions, offering a taste of summer ahead. Whether you’re sipping chai in Delhi’s mist or trekking in Uttarakhand’s crisp air, stay weather-wise and enjoy the day!
