- The India Meteorological Department issued a yellow alert for the entire Pune district and forecast light to isolated moderate rain, plus possible thunderstorms and gusty winds over the next few days.
- Mumbai remained largely dry in the cited 24‑hour window with 0 mm recorded and was forecast partly cloudy with one or two light spells of rain; the city’s air quality improved to a 'Good' AQI of 38.
