IMD Forecasts Cooler Temperatures and Increased Humidity with Thunderstorms in Pune

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) reported a drop of over one degree Celsius in Pune's maximum temperature on Monday, accompanied by rising humidity due to moisture from the Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal. This combination has increased discomfort and favors thunderstorms and rain, with a yellow alert issued for parts of Madhya Maharashtra and Marathwada until April 24. Light rain and hailstorms were reported in some areas, and temperatures are expected to decrease by 1-2 degrees Celsius in the coming days.
