Maharashtra Weather: Parts of Maharashtra, including Pune, are expected to feel a sharper winter chill early next week, with the minimum temperature likely to fall by 2–3 degrees Celsius. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has said that cooler conditions will build gradually over the next three to four days as clearer skies and dry winds begin to influence the region.
According to an IMD official as stating that, northerly and north-easterly winds will strengthen, allowing heat to escape during the night and leading to noticeably colder mornings across Pune district. However, daytime temperatures across Maharashtra, including Vidarbha, are expected to remain steady.

On Saturday, Shivajinagar recorded a minimum temperature of 14.1 degrees Celsius, while Lohegaon reported 17.1 degrees Celsius. The IMD’s updated forecast indicates that Shivajinagar, Pashan and NDA may drop to around 10–11 degrees Celsius by mid-week. Lohegaon, however, is expected to stay slightly warmer at around 14–15 degrees Celsius. Day temperatures across most stations are likely to remain between 29 degrees Celsius and 31 degrees Celsius.
The Times Of India report cited Independent forecaster Abhijit Modak as explaining that the recent rise in temperatures was linked to moisture pushed inland by Cyclone Ditwah, which formed off the Tamil Nadu coast earlier this week. The weakening system brought increased cloud cover to Maharashtra, preventing night-time cooling.
Modak added that Saturday was expected to be the last day of the cyclone’s lingering influence. “Moisture will start reducing from Sunday. Once the sky clears, night temperatures will fall again, and the effect will be noticeable from Monday,” he said. He forecast that Pune could return to single-digit temperatures between Wednesday and Friday.
He noted that Shivajinagar may reach around 9 degrees Celsius, while areas such as Narayangaon could fall even lower, possibly touching 7 degrees Celsius or 8 degrees Celsius. Modak also highlighted that Lohegaon rarely records single-digit temperatures due to its rocky terrain, which does not cool as quickly as soil-based regions like Shivajinagar and Pashan.
