Pune Records First Single-Digit Temperature Amidst Cold Spell and Worsening Air Quality
Pune experienced its first single-digit minimum temperature of the season, dropping to 9.4°C, significantly below normal due to persistent northerly winds. This early winter chill brought biting cold and dense fog across the district. Concurrently, air quality in Pune and surrounding areas deteriorated, with several stations recording AQI in the 'poor' category, attributed to low temperatures, calm winds, and trapped emissions. While further significant cooling is not anticipated, residents can expect continued cold mornings and worsening air quality.
