Pune Weather Update: Monsoon Over, Hot Days but Night Temperatures Dropping Fast; Winter Likely by Mid-October
After the monsoon’s retreat from Maharashtra on October 10, Pune is witnessing a noticeable contrast between day and night temperatures. The city is experiencing daytime highs of around 32°C, giving residents a taste of summer again. However, once the sun sets, the mercury drops sharply, leading to cooler nights that signal the slow arrival of winter.
Rising Day Temperatures in Pune
With clear skies and dry weather dominating since the monsoon withdrawal, Pune’s afternoons have turned quite warm. Maximum temperatures have climbed to around 32°C, making outdoor activities during the day slightly uncomfortable. Meteorologists attribute this to the absence of cloud cover, which allows direct sunlight to heat the surface more effectively.
Sharp Drop in Night Temperatures
In contrast, Pune’s nights have become noticeably cooler. Minimum temperatures have started dipping faster, creating a significant difference between day and night conditions. The clear skies that make the days hot are also responsible for rapid cooling at night, as heat escapes quickly from the surface.
Winter Expected in Late October
Weather experts suggest that the second half of October could bring the first signs of winter for Pune. As humidity continues to drop and north-easterly winds strengthen, cooler mornings and evenings are expected. Residents can look forward to pleasant weather ahead, though the current mix of hot days and cool nights may continue for another week or two.
