Pune: IMD Forecasts Light Rainfall Tomorrow
Maharashtra Weather Update: Rain and Heat Wave Warnings in Some Districts
Pune residents may experience relief from the scorching heat as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts light rainfall from April 9 to 11. According to an IMD official, the weather shift is attributed to moisture incursion in the Madhya Maharashtra region, primarily due to a trough line extending from Chhattisgarh to Tamil Nadu. Additionally, the southward movement of the subtropical jet will introduce dry and cool air, fostering cloud formation and instability conducive to rainfall.
This change in weather patterns is expected to elevate daytime temperatures above normal by one or two degrees Celsius until April 13. Despite this, the anticipated conditions offer a reprieve from the oppressive heat, with temperatures likely to remain within the range of 38 to 39 degrees Celsius at the Shivajinagar and Lohegaon observatories. On Sunday, Shivajinagar recorded a maximum temperature of 38.5 degrees Celsius, exceeding the norm by 1.3 degrees, while Lohegaon noted 39.2 degrees Celsius, surpassing the average by 1.2 degrees.
Beyond Pune, various regions in Maharashtra are grappling with severe summer temperatures. Solapur emerged as the hottest location in the state, with temperatures soaring to 42.2 degrees Celsius, surpassing the average by 2.8 degrees Celsius. In contrast, Aurangabad and Parbhani experienced relatively cooler temperatures, registering 37.4 degrees Celsius and 39.4 degrees Celsius, respectively, below normal by 0.5 degrees Celsius and 0.3 degrees Celsius.
Similar temperature trends were observed in the Vidarbha region, with eight observatories reporting below-normal daytime temperatures. Gondia and Nagpur recorded 31.6 degrees Celsius and 32.5 degrees Celsius, respectively, below normal by 7.8 degrees Celsius and 7.1 degrees Celsius.
