After experiencing a dip in temperature, the mercury in Pune has marginally increased with the weather department forecasting that the city will experience slightly warmer days till the end of the month.

On Monday, the maximum temperature climbed to 32 degrees Celsius and is likely to prevail in this range on Tuesday. The night temperature too rose to 17.4 degrees Celsius and is expected to be stable till Friday.

Now, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast that the maximum temperature across the city is likely to be around or marginally higher than 30 degree Celsius till the end of the month, except for Pashan where the temperature is likely to hover around 28-29 degrees Celsius. Nights, too, are likely to be warm, though the temperature will keep falling every day of the week until it is expected to reach 14 degrees Celsius on Sunday.

According to Anupam Kashyapi, former head of weather forecasting at IMD, this phenomena is in keeping with the well-marked low-pressure area that has formed over the Bay of Bengal and is expected to develop into a severe cyclonic storm Senyar in a couple of days. “This well-marked low-pressure system has an anti-clockwise movement as it progresses west-northwestwards, dragging all the winds towards itself. While Tamil Nadu, coastal Andhra Pradesh and south Odisha are expected to experience moderate to isolated heavy rain, there is an indirect impact likely in Maharashtra and neighbouring Chhattisgarh as well, especially, in the form of the rising night temperatures, due to partly cloudy conditions for the next 48 hours. Afterwards, again, a marginal fall in night temperature is likely due to a clear sky,” says Kashyapi.

The cold northerly wind that is largely responsible for bringing down the temperatures during winter is Maharashtra has been cut off due to the wind pattern associated with the system. Pune and its surroundings are being warmed due to the partially cloudy sky, under the influence of the system in Bay of Bengal. This is also preventing the heat of the day from escaping and the earth’s surface stays warm during the night, too. All these have combined to increase the temperature during the night in Pune.

The absence of the northerly wind is also responsible for the warmer day-time temperatures. “The depleting moisture from the atmosphere due to the system is likely to add to the rising day temperatures in the coming days,” said Kashyapi. “Brace for a warm winter till the end of this month, after which the northerly wind is likely blow again and make the city and its surroundings cold,” he said.
