The state is currently witnessing rain due to moisture incursion from the Bay of Bengal and a pro-rainfall system in the Arabian Sea. The city, meanwhile, recorded 3.7 mm rain from 8.30 am on Sunday to 8.30 am on Monday.
"A low pressure area over east-central and adjoining northeast Arabian Sea persists. A trough in the lower level easterly runs from Rajasthan across east-central Arabian Sea, Konkan and Goa and the Gujarat region. These are pro-rainfall weather conditions," said Medha Khole, director (weather forecasting), India Meteorological Department (IMD).
She said, "Areas in Maharashtra, which are close to Gujarat, as also the coastal regions are expected to record more rainfall in the next six to seven days. This includes districts in northern Maharashtra including Nashik, Dhule, Jalgaon and Nandurbar, as also the Konkan region including Dahanu, Mumbai and surrounding areas."
The IMD's weather report has also forecast that the city might witness rainfall or thundershowers in the next 48 hours.
Explaining the delay in the cold setting in, Khole said cloudy conditions due to the moisture incursion was leading to an increase in temperature. "The cloudy conditions will continue till next week. The absence of dry weather conditions and clear skies will result in comparatively hot weather conditions. The minimum temperatures will remain above normal for at least six to seven days," she said.
According to the IMD's daily weather report the minimum temperature, which is 13 degrees Celsius in Pune in November, was 21.1 degrees Celsius on Monday, with the maximum temperature being 30.7(+1) degrees Celsius.
