Key weather statistics:

• The temperature in Hyderabad will reach a scorching 42°C during the day.
• Wind speeds will be around 15 kmph with humidity at a notable 19%.
• In stark contrast, the maximum temperature in Jaisalmer has already peaked at a blistering 44.4°C.

This situation arises as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issues an orange alert for Jammu and Kashmir, Chhattisgarh, and Andhra Pradesh due to impending thunderstorms. But why such contrasting weather patterns? The answer lies in the geographical diversity across India.

As IPL 2026 approaches, cricket fans may find themselves torn between enjoying the matches and coping with the oppressive heat. The Sunrisers Hyderabad will be playing at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium soon — a venue that will likely feel even hotter under these conditions.

The IMD predicts a gradual fall in maximum temperatures over Northwest India by about 2-3°C until May 5. However, while some areas may see relief from the heat, others like West Bengal and Sikkim face thundersqualls with wind speeds expected to reach between 50-60 kmph.

The unpredictability of weather patterns continues to surprise meteorologists. Scattered rainfall is likely over Punjab from May 3 to 6, which could provide some much-needed respite from the ongoing dry spell in other regions.
