Both January and February are considered to be the driest months of the year. In fact, the rainfall average in January is zero. As far as February is considered, the numbers are no better and the average rains is a mere 0.5 mm.
As per records, during the last decade, not even a single drop of rainfall has been recorded in Pune during the month of February. The last time good rains were witnessed was in the year 1984 at 29.5 mm of rainfall.
The city is expected to remain dry during the rest of the month, keeping intact the decade long dry saga of the city. One of the reasons for no rains in February is the lack of formation of weather systems in the Arabian Sea during this time of the year.
