When you search for weather Kolhapur, the most useful page is usually the official one. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) publishes a city weather report and a seven-day forecast for Kolhapur. This page shows what that report said when we read it on 25 October 2026, explains how to read each part and says what it cannot tell you.
We opened IMD’s page on 25 October 2026. The report shown on it was dated 24 October 2026. So this is a retrieved report with a 24 October date, not a statement of current conditions or of today’s warning status. For the latest report, open the IMD page itself.
Key Takeaways
- IMD’s Kolhapur city report, retrieved on 25 October 2026 and dated 24 October 2026, listed a seven-day forecast from 24 to 30 October of “Mainly Clear sky” every day, with “No warning” for each day.
- The forecast ranges on that page were minimum 22 to 23 °C and maximum 33 to 35 °C.
- The past-24-hours data on the same page showed a minimum of 23.6 °C (3.7 °C above normal) and nil rainfall for the period from 08:30 IST the previous day to 08:30 IST that day. The maximum temperature showed as “NA”.
- Relative humidity at 08:30 was 84%. The 17:30 value showed “NA”.
- Sunset was 18:07 and the next day’s sunrise 06:28, as listed on that page.
- The “no warning” labels belong to the report dated 24 October. They are not the current warning status. Check IMD for today’s.
- The Pudhari news site reported half an hour of heavy rain with strong winds in Kolhapur at about 4:30 PM on Saturday 24 October. That is not a conflict with the IMD page, because the page’s rainfall figure covers a different window.
- IMD’s warnings use colours: yellow, orange and red, according to a Press Information Bureau release on IMD’s Mausam app.
What Does IMD Say About the Weather Kolhapur Is Having?
IMD’s local weather report for Kolhapur has two blocks. The first shows data for the past 24 hours. The second shows a seven-day forecast with any warnings.
Past 24 hours, as listed on 24 October 2026
| Item | Value on the page |
|---|---|
| Maximum temperature (recorded 24/10/26) | NA |
| Minimum temperature (recorded 24/10/26) | 23.6 °C |
| Departure from normal (minimum) | 3.7 °C |
| 24-hour rainfall (08:30 yesterday to 08:30 today) | NIL |
| Relative humidity at 08:30 | 84% |
| Relative humidity at 17:30 | NA |
| Sunset | 18:07 |
| Next day’s sunrise | 06:28 |
| Moonrise / moonset | 16:41 / 04:29 |
“NA” means the page did not show a value. The page does not explain why. A minimum 3.7 °C above normal means the night was warmer than the long-run average for that date, according to how IMD defines “departure from normal”.
Seven-day weather Kolhapur forecast, as listed on 24 October 2026
| Date | Min (°C) | Max (°C) | Forecast | Warning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 24 Oct | 23 | 33 | Mainly Clear sky | No warning |
| 25 Oct | 23 | 34 | Mainly Clear sky | No warning |
| 26 Oct | 22 | 34 | Mainly Clear sky | No warning |
| 27 Oct | 22 | 34 | Mainly Clear sky | No warning |
| 28 Oct | 22 | 35 | Mainly Clear sky | No warning |
| 29 Oct | 22 | 35 | Mainly Clear sky | No warning |
| 30 Oct | 22 | 34 | Mainly Clear sky | No warning |
This is a forecast as published on that date. Forecasts change as the days approach, and a seven-day outlook is less certain than a one-day outlook. We did not check whether the page was updated after the version we read.
Did it rain on 24 October?
The IMD page shows nil rainfall for the 24 hours up to 08:30 IST on that report date, and a “Mainly Clear sky” forecast for 24 October. The Pudhari site, in a report published at 12:24 AM on 25 October, said Kolhapur had heavy rain with strong winds at about 4:30 PM on Saturday 24 October, lasting about half an hour. It said the highest rainfall in the district in the previous 24 hours was 15.4 mm in Radhanagari taluka.
These two do not describe the same thing. The IMD figure ends at 08:30 on the report date, which is before the afternoon rain. The forecast is a daily city summary, and a short local shower can happen within a “mainly clear” day. We do not claim IMD was wrong, and we do not claim the report was wrong. They cover different windows and different scales.
What Are the IMD Monthly Normals for Kolhapur?
IMD’s Climatological Table page for the Kolhapur station (station number 43157), retrieved on 26 October 2026, covers the period 1991 to 2020 and lists monthly means. The city report described above shows one day. The normals show what is typical for each month, which helps you judge whether a day was unusual.
| Month | Mean daily minimum (°C) | Mean daily maximum (°C) | Mean total rainfall (mm) | Mean rainy days | Mean days with thunder | Mean days with fog |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| October | 20.6 | 30.7 | 118.5 | 6.6 | 3.1 | 1.6 |
| Year | 19.9 | 31.2 | 1,077.5 | 68.4 | 13.7 | 17.0 |
These are long-term averages for one station, not a forecast and not a measurement for any single day. IMD’s page gives no definition of a rainy day, so do not compare its rainy-day count with counts from other sites. The city report on this page shows one day. October and the annual row are the two points of comparison that matter for a report dated in late October.
How Do I Read the IMD Weather Kolhapur Report?
A few notes on the terms, from IMD’s page and from a PIB release.
- Departure from normal. How far the recorded temperature is from the long-run normal for that day. A positive number means warmer.
- 24-hour rainfall. Measured from 08:30 IST the previous day to 08:30 IST that day. Rain after 08:30 shows in the next day’s figure.
- Relative humidity at 08:30 and 17:30. Two readings, one in the morning and one in the evening.
- Warnings. IMD issues district warnings in colour codes. According to a PIB release from 27 July 2020, the warnings are issued twice a day for all districts for the next five days. Red is the most severe and urges authorities to take action. Orange prompts authorities and the public to be alert. Yellow prompts them to keep themselves updated.
- Nowcast. The same PIB release says IMD’s nowcast gives three-hourly warnings of localised weather for about 800 stations and districts. That is for events that are about to happen, such as a thunderstorm.
The PIB release is from 2020, so the app’s features may have changed. Check the current IMD site.
What does “mainly clear sky” mean?
IMD’s page uses it as a forecast category. We did not find IMD’s definition on the page, so we are not giving a cloud-cover percentage.
What does “no warning” mean?
On the IMD city page, it is the label for days with no weather warning in that report. It does not mean no rain, and in a report dated 24 October it says nothing about later warnings. The 24 October rain was a short, local event and the report showed no warning for that date.
What Can I Plan Around the Weather Kolhapur Forecast?
This is general guidance, not a prediction.
- If the latest report says mainly clear and no warning, plan as usual, but keep a light umbrella in the monsoon months.
- Look at the date on the report. A report dated yesterday is not today’s.
- Look again closer to the day.
- If a colour warning appears, follow the official advice from local authorities.
Next Steps
- Open IMD’s city weather page and check its date.
- Look at the warning column for your dates.
- Check again the day before.
- Pack for the season.
- If you see a colour warning, follow local advice.
