Pune is experiencing very high temperatures this October 2023. Some weather stations have recorded temperatures like 34.2°C (93.6°F) at the Shivajinagar observatory and 33.8°C (92.8°F) at Lohegaon.
Looking ahead to March 6, 2025, it seems the warmth will continue. The forecast says daytime highs could reach 35.6°C (96.1°F) and nighttime lows might go down to 18.4°C (65.1°F). There's also a chance of light rain in the evening between 6 PM and 9 PM.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has shared a report about air quality in Pune. They predict the Air Quality Index (AQI) will be 156, which is in the 'moderate' category. This means the air is okay but not great. The amount of tiny particles in the air, known as PM2.5, may average 75 micrograms per cubic meter. PM10 could go up to 125 micrograms per cubic meter, especially during busy traffic times.
Wind can help clean the air, and it's expected to blow at 12-15 kilometers per hour from the northwest. The pressure in the atmosphere will be stable at 1015 millibars. Humidity levels will change, being 45% during the day and rising to 75% in the early morning.
Different areas in Pune will have different temperatures. For example, the eastern suburbs may be about 1.2°C warmer than the city center. In Hadapsar, pollution might be worse, with an AQI reaching 175 in the afternoon.
Looking ahead, a low-pressure system is coming from the Arabian Sea, which could change the weather after March 8. This means we may see more clouds and humidity, with a 60% chance of moderate rain, possibly bringing 15-20 millimeters over the next 72 hours.
On March 6, the UV index will be high at 9 between 12 PM and 2 PM, so it's important to wear sunscreen if you go outside. Visibility will generally be good, between 8-10 kilometers, but it may drop to 5 kilometers if it rains in the evening.
