Pune Weather Update: Sharp Temperature Fluctuations, Citizens Advised to Take Precautions
Pune, 15th February 2025: Pune has been experiencing significant temperature fluctuations over the past few days, with chilly mornings and nights followed by sharp daytime heat. This unusual weather pattern has made residents experience both winter and summer conditions within the same day.
According to the Pune Meteorological Department, the city’s maximum temperature has reached 36°C, while the minimum temperature has dropped to 12°C. On February 14, Talegaon recorded 38.8°C, significantly higher than the seasonal average.
What’s Causing This Unusual Weather?
Meteorologists attribute the extreme temperature variations to dry winds from South India and western disturbances in North India.
