Clear skies post February 21 are expected to bring Pune’s minimum temperature down by 2-3 degree Celsius. This comes as parts of North India are expected to see moderate to light rains over the next few days due to active western disturbances.

Pune’s minimum temperatures have almost touched the 20 degree Celsius-mark as clear skies have increased heat over the city. With maximum temperatures also breaching the 32-33 degree mark, winter chills have almost vanished from the city. Pune is experiencing an unusually warm winter as temperatures have been higher than normal.

But the India Meteorological Department (IMD) stated that Pune will see colder days from February 21. Cloudy skies and incursion of cold winds from the northern parts of the country would see the minimum temperature drop by 2-3 degrees while maximum temperature would also drop by 1-2 degrees. For the next three days, IMD has ruled out any drop in temperature.

Pune would see cloudy skies as well as haze in the morning till February 20. This would see no change in either minimum or maximum temperatures for the city. The situation would change post February 21.

The western disturbance (cold, moisture-carrying winds) is set to bring rains to the north and central parts of the country for the next few days. IMD has predicted moderate to light showers owing to the western disturbance.
