Gurgaon Weather: Rain and Thunderstorms Expected

Key moments

On March 18, 2026, Gurgaon will experience a partly cloudy sky, with temperatures ranging between 15°C and 29°C. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued alerts for light to moderate rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning across Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR), including Gurgaon.

At 5:15 pm IST on the same day, the IMD confirmed the onset of light to moderate rainfall, predicting gusty winds of 30 to 40 km/h across the entire Delhi and NCR region. This weather pattern is attributed to a western disturbance affecting the area, as noted by a Met official who stated, “The city is likely to witness rain under the influence of a western disturbance.”

The IMD has also forecasted that Delhi will receive rainfall from Wednesday to Friday, with temperatures expected to dip due to the rain. Specifically, temperatures in Delhi are anticipated to fall to around 29-31 degrees Celsius by Thursday and further to 27-29 degrees Celsius by Friday.

In addition to the rainfall, the IMD has issued a yellow alert for March 19 and 20, forecasting multiple spells of light rain, thunderstorms, and gusty winds that could reach up to 50 km/h. Residents are advised to stay indoors, avoid open spaces, and keep away from windows during lightning activity to ensure their safety.

The weather in Delhi is expected to improve on March 21, 2026, with a return to partly cloudy skies and no significant rainfall activity. However, the IMD has indicated that the climate change will not be a one-day thing, as some rain accompanied by storms and a strong breeze is on the cards for a few days.

This shift in weather comes after a period of unusually high temperatures in Delhi, where the mercury remained above 35°C for six consecutive days between March 7 and 12. The sudden change in weather patterns has raised concerns among residents and officials alike.

As the situation develops, authorities are closely monitoring the weather conditions and will provide updates as necessary. Details remain unconfirmed regarding the extent of rainfall and its impact on daily life in Gurgaon and surrounding areas.
