However, a cyclonic circulation is prevailing over North Arabian Sea and a trough is extending from this up to Konkan and Goa region. In wake of this, southwesterly winds will be reaching Madhya Maharashtra, leading to cloud formation and thus resulting in rains over many parts of the region including Pune by beginning of the month.
Weathermen predict, scattered pre-Monsoon rains and thundershowers are likely over June 1-2 in Pune.
The countdown to Monsoon over Maharashtra has begun. Southwest Monsoon 2017 has already marked its timely arrival over Kerala on May 30. According to weathermen, western arm of the Monsoon is expected to travel along the West Coast and thus, the rain intensity will also increase along the region.
In a nutshell, from June first week, occasional showers are likely to continue over the city until the arrival of Southwest Monsoon over Maharashtra which is expected to make an onset by the second week of June.
