Pune touches season’s low at 9 degree Celsius
The present chill, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said would not last long as the incursion of moisture would soon start in the Maharashtra heartland
Ten of the 28 spots in the district with automatic weather stations recorded single-digit temperatures on Sunday. (Express File) Pune city recorded its lowest temperature this season on Sunday with the mercury plummeting to 9 degree Celsius. The city recorded temperature in single digits after a gap of almost 15 days.
Around two weeks ago, Pune had recorded 9.3 degree Celsius, following which the temperature steadily rose. This increase was mainly due to the incursion of moisture. However, as a low-pressure area over the Arabian Sea started gaining strength, this incursion slowed down. Also, active western disturbances (moisture-carrying winds that cause snow and winter rain in North India) caused the temperature to dip.
Ten of the 28 spots in the district with automatic weather stations recorded single-digit temperatures on Sunday. The station at the National Defence Academy recorded the lowest minimum temperature of 8 degree Celsius, followed by Baramati, Talegaon, Shirur, Duand, and Malin – all registering 9 degree Celsius. Rajgurunagar (9.9 degree Celsius), Pashan (9.3 degree Celsius), and Narayangaon (9.7 degree Celsius) also recorded single-digit temperatures.
