Maharashtra Records Unseasonal October Heat with Amravati and Pune Hottest
Maharashtra experienced unusually high temperatures in early October, with Amravati reaching 39.6°C, about 7 degrees above normal, making it the hottest place in the state. Pune recorded 35.7°C, its highest October temperature since 2002, with several suburbs also seeing temperatures above 34°C. The rise is attributed to the withdrawal of the southwest monsoon and an anticyclonic circulation causing clear skies and dry weather. The India Meteorological Department forecasts continued warm, dry conditions for several days.
