Pune, 1st December 2025: City recorded a noticeable dip in temperatures for the second straight day, with Shivajinagar recording a minimum of 9.8°C on Sunday. This marks the second time in a month that the city’s temperature has slipped below the 10°C mark. The maximum temperature also settled at 27.9°C.
The cold conditions strengthened from Saturday night, and the nip in the air continued until early morning. With Sunday being a holiday, many Punekars were seen enjoying the chilly weather with hot tea and relaxed outdoor routines. Several areas in the suburbs felt even colder than central Pune.
The drop in temperatures is mainly due to cold winds moving in from northern India. Over the past two days, these winds have led to a clear increase in chill across Pune and parts of central Maharashtra.
On Sunday alone, the minimum temperature fell by nearly five degrees compared to the previous day. Even by 9 am, people could feel the cold breeze on the streets, and the afternoon sun was noticeably mild.
By evening, the cold winds picked up again, and residents stepped out wearing sweaters and mufflers. The winter vibe was visible across markets and shopping streets as people enjoyed the cool weather.
According to IMD-GFS forecasts, this cold phase will not last long. Night temperatures in Pune are expected to rise significantly from December 5 onwards, bringing an end to the short cold spell.
