But Maharashtra people are feeling more heat because the humidity goes up near 65% which makes it feel like 41°C. The IMD has put out a yellow alert for heatwave conditions across the city. 

If we talk about the rest of the afternoon on May 16, 2026, the temperature should remain pretty much around 33°C but the humidity will rise and make it feel like 42°C.  People should try to steer clear of direct sunlight, when they do need to step outside use proper sun protection, like hat or sunscreen, and try to stay hydrated as much as possible. 

Rain Alert For Western Ghats For Next 3 Days

A pre-monsoon weather change is increasing moisture levels in the Western Ghats which is making light afternoon rain showers very likely over the next few days. This means unlike nearby cities like Mumbai where intense heatwaves have taken place, the higher regions of Ghats are witnessing cooler temperatures along with light to heavy rainfall which gives people protection from heat. A yellow alert has also been issued for heavy showers during the afternoon hours. 

Monsoon likely to Set in Kerala, Bangalore 

The Southwest Monsoon is likely to set in over Kerala on May 26, with a model error margin of +- 4 days, said the India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Friday.  

Apparently, conditions are favourable for the further advancement of the Southwest Monsoon into parts of the South Bay of Bengal, the Andaman Sea, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands during the next 24 hours, or so. Meanwhile, heatwave to severe heatwave conditions are likely to prevail over Northwest and Central India for several days this week.  

As per the IMD, the southwest monsoon normally sets in over Kerala around June 1. That timing comes with a standard deviation of about seven days. The IMD has been issuing operational forecasts for the date of monsoon onset over Kerala since 2005, pretty much. 

 Uttarakhand Weather Update 

The weather in Uttarakhand these days looks kind of split into two distinct moods, like sort of two different colors. One side has light rain , partly cloudy skies, and strong winds still bothering the mountainous districts, while the other side, in the plains, temperatures are climbing steadily because of bright sunshine and dry weather. As per the Meteorological Department , this same pattern may remain for the coming days too, without much change. Light rain might show up in a few places across the hills, but the heat is set to continue troubling people out in the plains.

The increasing heat in the plains of the state has started making people sweat. In many areas, including Dehradun , the temperature increased due to the bright sunshine and humidity during the day.
