Pune, Maharashtra (April 28, 2025): The intense heat in Pune is expected to continue for the next several days, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasting daytime temperatures between 39 degrees Celsius and 43 degrees Celsius till May 2. According to the reports, cloudy skies are expected from April 30 to May 2. However, IMD warned that the cloud cover will not bring significant relief during the daytime.
"There is a possibility of moisture incursion over Madhya Maharashtra, which includes Pune district, due to the trough line presence over the state. Therefore, there will be cloudy conditions over the city on some days in the coming days. But it will not reduce the overall heat intensity of the day. Some respite from the scorching heat will be there in the evening hours," said SD Sanap, a scientist with IMD Pune, as quoted by Times of India.
