The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast a fresh change in weather conditions across several parts of the country from Thursday, November 12, 2026. Rainfall and snowfall are expected in the western Himalayan region, while several southern states may also experience a new spell of rain due to a developing weather system over the Bay of Bengal.
According to the weather department, a low-pressure system forming over the southeast Bay of Bengal could gradually intensify into a deep depression by November 15. Meanwhile, an active western disturbance is expected to bring rain, thunderstorms and snowfall to parts of northwestern India.
These changing weather conditions are likely to affect Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab and several southern states. Here is the latest IMD weather forecast for November 12.
Rain and Snowfall Expected in Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand
The western Himalayan region is likely to experience a significant change in weather over the next few days. According to the IMD, widespread rainfall and snowfall are expected across Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh and nearby areas on November 12 and 13.
Some locations may also receive heavy rainfall. Thunderstorms, lightning and hailstorms are possible in affected areas, which could lead to challenging weather conditions.
Himachal Pradesh is expected to receive isolated to scattered rainfall on Thursday. Uttarakhand may experience scattered to widespread rain between November 12 and November 14.
The weather system may also influence conditions across the plains of northwestern India. Punjab is likely to receive rainfall on November 12 and 13, according to meteorologists.
The expected change is associated with an active western disturbance. These weather systems generally originate near the Mediterranean region and move eastwards, bringing rainfall and snowfall to northwestern parts of India during the winter season, as reported by India Today.
South India Rain Alert: Tamil Nadu, Kerala and Other States May Receive Rain
Southern India is also expected to experience fresh rainfall due to a developing system over the Bay of Bengal.
The IMD has indicated that a low-pressure area may develop over the southeast Bay of Bengal around November 13 before moving northwestwards. It is expected to become a well-marked low-pressure area by November 14 and intensify into a deep depression on November 15.
As a result, several southern states and coastal regions may receive rainfall.
Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Karaikal are likely to experience isolated to scattered showers on Thursday. Rain is also expected in Kerala and Mahe, while Lakshadweep may witness similar weather conditions.
The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are likely to receive fairly widespread to widespread rainfall on November 12. Isolated heavy showers are also possible in some locations.
The developing Bay of Bengal system is expected to influence rainfall activity across parts of southern India over the coming days.
Delhi Weather Today: Mist and Shallow Fog Expected in the Morning
Delhi is likely to experience partly cloudy skies on November 12. The IMD has also forecast mist and shallow fog during the early morning hours across most parts of the national capital.
The minimum temperature may drop to around 15 degrees Celsius, while the maximum temperature is expected to remain between 27 and 29 degrees Celsius.
Although widespread rainfall has not been forecast for Delhi on Thursday, morning mist and fog may affect visibility in several areas.
IMD Weather Forecast: Key Developments to Watch
The coming days may bring contrasting weather conditions across different parts of India. While the western Himalayan region is likely to experience rain and snowfall due to the western disturbance, the developing Bay of Bengal system may trigger rainfall across southern states.
Delhi, meanwhile, is expected to remain partly cloudy, with morning mist and shallow fog.
Residents in the affected regions should keep track of the latest weather updates issued by the India Meteorological Department as conditions develop.
