Pune is experiencing elevated temperatures with night-time lows reaching up to 28°C in Wadgaonsheri and daytime highs expected to rise to 41-42°C in areas like Lohegaon and Koregaon Park. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) attributes warmer nights to persistent cloud cover that traps heat. Despite forecasts of isolated thunderstorms, lightning, and light rain over the coming days, temperatures are expected to remain high, causing discomfort and limited relief from the heat.
