DC Vs RCB, IPL 2026: Check Delhi Hourly Weather Forecast For Today’s Indian Premier League Match 39

Delhi Capitals (DC) will look to remain in the hunt for the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 play-offs when they host high-flying Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Monday.

A rotten sequence of results, with one win in their last five games, has seen the Capitals drop down to seventh place, trailing the top four spots by four points. They were comprehensively beaten by Punjab Kings (PBKS) by six wickets in their last outing, failing to defend a total of 264/2 despite KL Rahul’s heroics.

RCB, on the other hand, remain second in the league standings with 10 points. They were beaten by DC by six wickets in the reverse fixture on April 18, but bounced back with a five-wicket victory against Gujarat Titans (GT) on Friday.

IPL 2026 has already seen PBKS’s match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on April 6 washed out due to rain, and DC fans will be praying that the same fate doesn’t befall them today. Let’s look at the hourly weather updates and rainfall chances in Delhi today.

According to AccuWeather, it will be an excruciatingly hot day in Delhi today, with temperatures expected to rise to 41°C and go down only as low as 28°C at night. Humidity will hover in the range of 16-18%, with slow winds of 15 km/h blowing at night. There’s no chance of rainfall.

Delhi has experienced extremely high temperatures in the last few days. The thermometer touched 42.8°C on Sunday, marking the hottest day in the NCR region this year. As a result of this heatwave condition in North India, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for several states, including Delhi.

Healthcare facilities across the NCR region have prepared themselves for heat-related illnesses, while school timings in NCR have also been moved earlier in certain places like Noida and Ghaziabad. In Noida, for example, all classes must be held between 7:30 AM and 12:30 PM. The Delhi government, meanwhile, has initiated the Heat Wave Action Plan 2026.

What is Heat Wave Action Plan 2026?

The Heat Wave Action Plan 2026, launched by the Rekha Gupta-led government in Delhi, aims to reduce the impact of the ongoing heat wave in the national capital.

As per the plan, schools in Delhi will now provide ORS to schoolchildren before they leave school. Hospitals across the city have set up dedicated ‘cool rooms’ to treat heatstroke patients, and several health centres have been placed on alert.

There will be infrastructure upgrades too, with high-pressure misting systems being set up at bus stops and anti-smog guns deployed in areas with high population densities.
