Summer Heat to Continue
Despite the upcoming showers, summer conditions will remain dominant in Pune, with maximum temperatures hovering between 35°C and 37°C in the coming days. The combination of rising temperatures and low evening humidity will contribute to dry and warm conditions, typical of early April.
