IMD Forecasts Light Rainfall in Pune Following Week-Long Dry SpellPreviousNext

After a week-long dry spell following widespread rainfall, Pune district is expected to experience light and isolated rainfall over the next three to four days, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). This weather pattern is influenced by a low-pressure area over the northwest Bay of Bengal and other monsoon systems. Thunderstorms with lightning may occur at isolated places, but no major rain spells are anticipated for at least five days. IMD will continue monitoring and updating forecasts as needed.
