Pune Records Highest October Temperatures Since 2002 Amid Dry Conditions
Pune has experienced unusually high temperatures in October, with Wadgaonsheri recording the city's highest minimum temperature at 26.2°C and Shivajinagar reaching a maximum of 35.9°C, the highest October daytime temperature since 2002. The India Meteorological Department attributes this to the withdrawal of the southwest monsoon and dry air conditions, leading to persistent heat and humidity across Pune and Maharashtra. Residents face discomfort due to these elevated day and night temperatures, which are expected to continue for several days.
