Pune, 9th March 2026: City has been witnessing a noticeable rise in both maximum and minimum temperatures over the past few days, leading to hotter afternoons and increased discomfort for residents. The sharp rise in temperature has made the daytime heat more intense.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the weather in Pune is expected to remain relatively stable over the next three days. However, officials have indicated that temperatures could rise again after this brief period of stability.
On Sunday (March 8), the city recorded a maximum temperature of 37.1°C and a minimum temperature of 16.8°C. The high daytime temperature has made it difficult for people to step outdoors in the afternoon, as the strong sunlight continues to affect daily routines.
