Pune Sees Temperature Drop as Pre-Monsoon Weather Activity Begins

Pune experienced a notable drop in daytime temperatures on Wednesday, with Shivajinagar recording a maximum of 36.3°C, slightly below normal, as moisture-laden westerly winds from the Arabian Sea brought relief after several hot days near 40°C. Similar below-normal temperatures were reported in Nashik, Satara, Solapur, and Kolhapur. Meteorologists from the India Meteorological Department forecast partly cloudy skies with isolated thunderstorms, lightning, and light rain likely until May 26, indicating the onset of pre-monsoon activity in western and central Maharashtra.
