Weather Forecast August 30 2025 – What to Expect Across India

Ready for August 30? The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has put out its latest outlook, and it’s a mixed bag. Some parts will see strong showers, while others stay breezy and warm. Below is a quick rundown so you can plan your day without guessing.

Rain Chances and Alerts

Delhi‑NCR is sitting under an orange alert. Expect intermittent thunderstorms in the afternoon, especially after 2 pm. Heavy bursts could hit the city’s northern districts, so keep an eye on local updates. If you’re heading out, a waterproof jacket and an umbrella are a must.

Uttar Pradesh and Bihar are also on the radar. The IMD warns of moderate to heavy rain in 15 districts of western UP and several districts in Bihar. Low‑lying areas may see water‑logging, so avoid routes near rivers or flood‑prone zones.

Over in the east, Kolkata is dealing with a lingering depression over the Bay of Bengal. The city will get scattered showers and gusty winds, pushing humidity above 85 %. Traffic snarls are likely, so allow extra time for your commute.

Other northern states, such as Himachal and Jammu & Kashmir, will get light rain, but it’s not enough to trigger alerts. If you’re planning a trek, pack a raincoat but you won’t need to cancel.

Temperature and Travel Tips

Temperatures will vary widely. Delhi’s highs will hover around 30 °C, with lows dipping to 22 °C – a comfortable dip from the earlier heatwave. In contrast, coastal cities like Chennai and Visakhapatnam will stay warm, hitting 33‑35 °C during the day.

For those traveling by road, keep your vehicle’s wipers in good shape and check tire pressure – rain can affect handling. If you’re flying, expect possible delays at Delhi’s IGI airport, especially for inbound flights that may need to wait for clearance during rain bursts.

Outdoor events, whether it’s a cricket match or a local fair, should have a backup plan. Many venues in Delhi are now equipped with temporary shelters, but it’s wise to stay updated through the official IMD app or local news channels.

Health tip: humid weather can make the air feel hotter. Stay hydrated, drink at least two liters of water, and avoid heavy meals during the hottest part of the day. If you have asthma, keep your inhaler handy – the sudden humidity spikes can trigger symptoms.

Overall, August 30 looks like a typical monsoon day for most of north and east India: occasional heavy rain, cooler evenings, and a chance to break the heat. Keep a simple rain kit, check alerts on your phone, and you’ll be set for a smooth day.
