Pune Records Elevated October Temperatures Following Early Monsoon Withdrawal
Pune is experiencing unusually high October temperatures, with readings reaching up to 35.7°C, among the highest recorded for the month since 2002. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts temperatures could rise to 36–37°C in the coming days. This heat is attributed to the early withdrawal of the monsoon, dry air from northwest India, clear skies, and El Niño effects. Minimum temperatures are also rising, with some areas expecting lows around 26°C, indicating a warmer-than-normal post-monsoon period.
