26th June to 10th July 2025 Weather Update: Rainfall, Thunderstorms, and Wind Warning Expected

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has released its extended weather forecast for the next two weeks (26th June to 10th July 2025), and the outlook is highly favourable for farmers. 

The southwest monsoon is advancing rapidly and has already covered most parts of the country. Within the next 3–4 days, it is expected to reach the remaining areas of Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, and Delhi.

Monsoon Rainfall Brings Relief for Kharif Crop Cultivation

According to IMD, all-India rainfall during the past week was 38% above normal. Regions such as Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and Uttar Pradesh received excellent rainfall, supporting timely kharif crop sowing. This rain is vital for cultivating paddy, cotton, soybean, pulses, and millets in various agri zones.

Between 26th June and 2nd July, the following states are likely to witness heavy to very heavy rainfall:

  • Konkan, Goa, and Gujarat
  • Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh
  • Odisha, Jharkhand, and Vidarbha
  • Punjab, Haryana, East Rajasthan, and Uttarakhand
  • Kerala, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka (especially the Western Ghats region)

Special Alert: Extremely heavy rainfall (more than 20 cm in 24 hours) is expected in Kerala and South Interior Karnataka.

Thunderstorm and Wind Warning

Widespread thunderstorms accompanied by gusty winds (30–50 km/h) are forecasted across North, Central, and East India

Farmers are advised to:

  • Secure young plants and trellises.
  • Avoid pesticide or fertiliser application during stormy weather.
  • Check drainage in low-lying fields to prevent waterlogging.

Extended Weather Outlook: 3rd to 10th July 2025

  • Central and Northwest India may continue to receive good monsoon rains.
  • East and Northeast India may receive moderate rainfall.
  • South India, especially Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, may see below-normal rainfall during this period.

Temperature Forecast 

  • Temperatures are expected to be 2–4°C below normal across most of India, which will help in reducing heat stress on crops.
  • However, Northeast India may experience slightly above-normal temperatures (2–3°C higher than average).
