Pune Cold Wave Continues: Single-Digit Temperatures Persist for Eighth Consecutive Day
Maharashtra Weather Update For January 24: IMD Warns of Possible Cold Wave Return; Next 12 Hours Critical
Pune, December 17: Pune continues to reel under an extended cold wave, with the city recording single-digit minimum temperatures for the eighth consecutive day, according to the latest data from meteorological authorities. Several parts of Pune district, including both urban and rural areas, have reported minimum temperatures below 10°C, making it one of the longest cold spells witnessed in recent years.
Weather experts attribute the persistent chill to clear skies and calm wind conditions. The absence of cloud cover has led to increased radiational cooling, allowing heat to escape rapidly after sunset and pushing night temperatures consistently lower.
In contrast, daytime temperatures have remained comfortable, creating a sharp difference between warm afternoons and chilly mornings across the city.
Impact on Daily Life
The prolonged cold wave has significantly affected daily routines in Pune. Early mornings have turned particularly cold, prompting residents to step out wrapped in woollens and layered clothing. Senior citizens, children, and people suffering from respiratory ailments are among the most impacted due to the sustained drop in temperatures.
