Punjab Weather – Current Forecast & Alerts

Looking for what the sky’s doing over Punjab today? You’re in the right spot. We pull the latest IMD data, rain warnings and temperature readings so you can decide if it’s a bike‑ride day or a stay‑inside day.

Today's Weather Outlook

Most of Punjab is seeing scattered showers with temperatures hanging between 28°C and 33°C. Lahore‑border districts feel a bit cooler because of the cloud cover, while the interior regions stay warm. Humidity is around 65%, which makes the heat feel a little sticky. Wind is light, moving at 8‑12 km/h from the west, so you won’t get much of a cooling breeze.

IMD has issued a yellow rain alert for Amritsar, Jalandhar and Patiala. That means a 30‑50% chance of rain in the next 12 hours, mostly in the late afternoon. If you’re heading out, keep an eye on sudden downpours – they can turn streets slick fast.

What to Expect This Week

The next five days bring a mixed bag. A low‑pressure system moving in from the northwest will push more showers into southwestern Punjab on Thursday, with up to 15 mm of rain predicted for Bathinda. Friday looks drier, but temperatures will climb to around 35°C, so stay hydrated.

Saturday and Sunday bring a chance of thunderstorms over the Himalayan foothills, which can spill into the northern districts. If you’re in the plains, expect occasional lightning and gusty winds up to 20 km/h. The IMD has upgraded the alert for Gurdaspur to orange on Saturday – that’s a stronger warning, so plan travel routes accordingly.

For farmers, the monsoon burst means a timely boost for kharif crops, especially wheat and mustard. However, too much water could affect sowing schedules, so local advisories recommend waiting for the rain to subside before field work.

Quick safety tip: keep a raincoat or umbrella handy, especially if you’re in the alert zones. If you drive, slow down on wet roads and avoid standing water where possible. And don’t forget sunglasses for the sunny spells between showers.
