The weather of Pune remained continuously dry throughout the month of April with isolated light rains occurring only on April 5, 6 and 18. Temperatures also remained above normal for most of the time.
The monthly average rainfall in Pune for the month of April is quite less (6.6 mm), which is also the hottest month for the city. The rainfall figure increases to 40.6 mm in May as pre-Monsoon showers increase by this time of the year. The average maximum also comes down to 37.2 degree Celsius in May from 38.1 degree Celsius in the month of April.
The ‘Queen of Deccan’, Pune, is famous for its pleasant and soothing climate throughout the year. However, this year Pune witnessed extreme weather conditions in April when Pune touched 40°C quite frequently.
