Rising daytime temperatures in Oct in Pune city
Pune’s highest Oct temperature on record remains 37.8°C, recorded on Oct 8, 1899. The second-highest is 36.9°C, recorded on Oct 7, 2002, followed by 36.7°C on Oct 6 that year. Because of which temperatures are rising,” Sanap added, we are also getting clear skies during the afternoon,.
We are seeing similar conditions this year as well,” he said. The latest readings are significant in the context of Pune’s long-term temperature record. The heat comes as Pune moves through an unusually dry post-monsoon transition, with the ongoing El Nino conditions also contributing to the prevailing weather pattern. The rising temperatures are being driven by a combination of factors following the withdrawal of the monsoon. “One reason is the Oct heat. Another is that the monsoon winds are no longer present over the region, as the monsoon has withdrawn. An anticyclonic circulation over northwest India is bringing dry air into the region. “El Nino is also a factor. These conditions are occurring against the backdrop of El Nino, and similar conditions have been observed in the past. During El Nino years, post-monsoon temperatures have generally been higher in the past, and record-breaking temperatures have also been observed. The readings from Lohegaon, however, cannot be placed against a long-term Oct record, as historical extreme temperature data for the station is not available with IMD.
