Pune’s Deep Freeze Eases as Minimum Temperature Jumps to 13.5°C. IMD

IMD points to weakened northerlies, cautioning that the current warmup may reverse by mid-January.

Overview

  • Shivajinagar’s minimum rose to 13.5°C on January 2 from 10.9°C a day earlier, about 2.2°C above the seasonal normal.
  • IMD expects night temperatures to climb gradually and approach 15°C by January 8, with daytime highs near 32°C.
  • Meteorologists cite weakened dry northerly winds and the influence of multiple upper‑air systems and moisture as the cause of the rise.
  • IMD bulletins note a western disturbance, several cyclonic circulations, and a strong subtropical jet that have disrupted the inflow of colder air into Maharashtra.
  • December 2025 was Pune’s coldest in over a decade with a 10.5°C average minimum and about 18–20 single‑digit mornings, including a 6.6°C low at Haveli.
