Pune is experiencing some very warm nights this April, which is unusual. In Shivajinagar, the lowest temperature recorded was 24.9°C, making it the hottest April night since 2017. This is a big difference from what’s normal for this time of year, which is usually much cooler.
Many parts of Pune are feeling this heat. In places like Hadapsar and Magarpatta, the temperatures at night were 26.7°C. This is very close to the record for April, which was 27.5°C on April 18, 2010. Other areas like Dhamdhere and Wadgaon Sheri also showed high temperatures of 25.8°C and 25.7°C, respectively.
The Indian Meteorological Department, or IMD, says that these warm nights are caused by some weather conditions. There’s a lot of moisture in the air, and clouds are keeping the heat close to the ground. Additionally, warm winds are blowing in from nearby places like Saurashtra, Gujarat, and Rajasthan. All of this is making the nights warmer than usual.
Pune’s people are finding it tough to stay cool at night. Even though the IMD believes temperatures might drop a little in the next few days, the nights are still expected to be warmer than normal. This means people might need to use fans or air conditioning more often.
This situation is different from what Pune usually experiences in April. It shows how climate conditions are changing. The temperature readings from various places in Pune help us understand how these warm nights are spreading throughout the city.
These high nighttime temperatures are concerning. Experts and city planners need to pay attention to this trend, as it affects how comfortable people feel in their homes during the night. Monitoring these temperatures can help us understand our changing climate better.
