Gujarat is currently facing severe heat wave conditions, prompting the India Meteorological Department (IMD) to issue an orange alert for the region on March 12, 2026. The maximum temperature in Gujarat reached a staggering 42°C on March 11, 2026, indicating a significant rise in temperatures.

Regional Temperature Variations

In nearby Nandurbar, located in Madhya Maharashtra, temperatures soared even higher, peaking at 42.4°C on the same day. Meanwhile, the capital city of Delhi is expected to experience a range of temperatures between 29 to 38 degrees Celsius today.

Forecast for the Coming Days

The IMD has warned that heat wave conditions in Gujarat are likely to persist until March 13, 2026. This prolonged period of extreme heat is part of a broader trend, with the IMD predicting a warmer-than-average March across India.

Rainfall Predictions

Despite the heat in Gujarat, the IMD forecasts rainfall in several northern and northeastern states in the coming days. Isolated light rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms is expected over Punjab, Haryana, and Chandigarh from March 14 to 16, 2026. Additionally, heavy precipitation is anticipated in Assam and Meghalaya between March 13 and 15, 2026.

Temperature Trends

As part of the weather outlook, the IMD predicts a gradual fall in maximum temperatures by 4-6°C over the Western Himalayan region in the next week. This shift may provide some relief to areas currently experiencing extreme heat.

Severe Weather Reports

In a separate weather event, the National Weather Service reported over 230 instances of severe weather across the United States on March 10-11, 2026. This included tornado emergencies, such as an EF3 tornado in Aroma Park, Illinois, with winds reaching 150 mph, and an EF1 tornado in Moro, Illinois, with winds of 95 mph.
