Pune: “Monsoon will definitely be in the revival mode from 23rd June. Formation of the offshore trough will take place off Maharashtra & Kerala coast which will strengthen the monsoon. Monsoon progress will be good enough based on advances of both its Arabian Sea and Bay of Bengal branches. As a result, the dam areas near Pune may also get good rainfall. Pune will get very light to light rainfall on June 21 and June 22 which is partly cloudy condition. Slowly, from June 23 onwards, light rainfall is expected for Pune which is 2.5 to 15.5 mm in 24 hours, ” said Dr Anupam Kashyapi, Head of Weather Forecasting Division, Indian Meteorological Department, Pune.
The arrival of rains is probably going to help the dam catchment regions around Pune as monsoon will likely come in ghat areas during June 23.

For Pune, especially for city areas, for June 24, we are expecting light and moderate rainfall for isolated areas. For June 25, moderate rainfall is expected,” he further added.Box : The IMD informed that there is no further advancement of the monsoon today. However, conditions continue to be favorable for further advancement of Southwest Monsoon over some more parts of south Peninsular India including south of Maharashtra, some parts of Odisha, some more parts of Gangetic West Bengal, Jharkhand, Bihar and some parts of East Uttar Pradesh during next 2-3 days. For Pune & Mumbai, monsoon is just knocking at the door. All the conditions are almost set for onset.
