Daly College Ground Indore Weather Report: 20 October

Match and forecast scope

Chhattisgarh Under-19s play Chandigarh Under-19s at The Daly College Ground, Indore, on Tuesday, 20 October 2026, with the scheduled start at 09:00 IST. This weather note was checked on 19 October 2026 at 20:19 IST. It uses Indore city forecasts rather than a sensor located on the Daly College cricket square.

The most useful official signal is the India Meteorological Department (IMD) Indore city forecast issued for the page dated 19 October: 21°C minimum and 34°C maximum for 20 October, with partly cloudy sky and possibility of rain, thunderstorm or duststorm. The same page carries an Indore warning for thunderstorm accompanied with lightning. IMD's evening national bulletin, issued at 16:35 IST on 19 October, also lists isolated thunderstorm, lightning and gusty winds over Madhya Pradesh for 20 October, with the bulletin's day forecast valid from 08:30 IST on 20 October to 08:30 IST on 21 October.

Daytime outlook for the match window

The accessible Indore hourly forecast checked at 20:19 IST gives a warmer but broadly compatible city outlook: a daytime high of 91°F (32.8°C) and a low of 72°F (22.2°C), with 17% precipitation probability for the day. Its in-window half-hour entries show 84–90°F (28.9–32.2°C) from 09:30 to 16:30, with conditions changing from sunny to mostly or partly cloudy. Winds remain light at 4–5 mph (6.4–8.0 km/h) in the listed slots. Humidity is highest in the morning entry and falls through late morning, reaching the high-30s to low-40s percent during the warmest afternoon entries.

The provider's rain probabilities are not zero throughout the window: they are 0% at 09:30 and 10:30, 6% at 11:30, 8% at 12:30, 12% at 13:30, 13% at 14:30, 18% at 15:30, and 9% at 16:30. These are city-provider probabilities, not a measurement of rain at the Daly College pitch. They should be read alongside IMD's broader isolated-thunderstorm warning rather than as a guarantee of a dry ground.

Verified hourly forecast rows

The hourly provider publishes half-hour slots. The table therefore reports the verified slots that fall within the 09:00–17:00 daytime match window; it does not invent values for the exact 09:00 or 17:00 boundaries. Temperatures and winds show the provider's source units followed by metric conversions.

What players, officials and travellers should plan for

Expect a hot daytime workload after a comparatively mild start, with limited wind relief. Carry water, sun protection and light, breathable kit for travel and arrival. The forecast does not establish conditions inside the ground, access arrangements, or whether the playing surface is wet or playable. Allow extra time for traffic and any weather-related slowdown, but do not assume a rain delay from the probability figures alone.

A short shower or thunderstorm could interrupt play even while the city forecast remains mostly sunny. Lightning is the more important safety issue than a small change in temperature: if thunder is heard or lightning is observed, players and spectators should follow the venue and match officials' safety instructions. Any restart, interval or overs adjustment is for the officials; this article does not predict one.

City forecast versus ground conditions

The IMD page is a city forecast and includes Indore station observations for the preceding 24 hours; the accessible hourly table is also an Indore city forecast. Neither is an observation from the Daly College square. No verified Daly College pitch sensor, rain gauge, live ground report, or venue-specific 09:00–17:00 observation was found at the time of checking. The listed Daly College coordinates identify the venue area, but they do not turn a city forecast into a ground observation.

Refresh before leaving and before the toss

Because the match is on 20 October and thunderstorm risk can change locally, recheck the official IMD Indore page and a current hourly forecast before travel, then check again close to the toss. Pay particular attention to any new lightning warning, radar indication, or local announcement. The forecast reviewed here is valid for the stated date only; it should not be carried forward to another match day.

FAQs

Is rain guaranteed at Daly College?

No. The hourly city provider shows a low, non-zero precipitation probability during the listed daytime slots, while IMD indicates a possibility of rain or thunderstorm and an isolated lightning risk over Madhya Pradesh. Neither source guarantees rain at the ground.

What temperature range is most relevant during play?

The official IMD Indore forecast gives 21°C to 34°C for the date. The hourly city forecast's verified in-window slots range from 84°F to 90°F (28.9°C to 32.2°C) between 09:30 and 16:30. These are city forecast values, not pitch measurements.

Are exact 09:00 and 17:00 readings available?

Not in the accessible hourly table checked here. It supplied half-hour slots, so the structured rows stop at 16:30 and do not interpolate the match start or end boundary.

Could play be interrupted?

Yes, potentially. IMD's 20 October guidance includes isolated thunderstorm, lightning and gusty-wind risk over Madhya Pradesh. Follow officials if lightning or a storm develops, and verify the latest local warning before setting out.

Does this report describe observed Daly College conditions?

No. It is a dated Indore city forecast with official regional guidance. Ground-level conditions remain an explicit data gap.
