Monsoon Break Causes Dry Spell in Pune; Rain Expected Around July 20
Pune and several regions in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, and coastal Andhra Pradesh are currently experiencing a dry spell, described as a 'break' in the monsoon, with only isolated light rain and occasional thunderstorms expected. This pause follows heavy rainfall caused by a low-pressure system over the Bay of Bengal and other weather factors, which have since weakened. The India Meteorological Department forecasts a return of increased rainfall around July 20, linked to a possible new low-pressure system and strengthening westerly winds over the Arabian Sea.
