With the maximum temperature in Pune at 38.1 degree Celsius on Friday April 10, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast very light to light rain in isolated parts of city on April 11.
According to Anupam Kashyapi, head, weather department, IMD, “It is these high temperatures along with moisture that are causing local instability resulting in convective activity as a result of which in the afternoon /evening, there are formation of initially cumulous clouds followed by cumulous nimbus formation; this results in thunder with lightning.”
He said, “The light to very light rain will be in isolated places only and perhaps, people will get temporary relief from the heat for a brief time.”
He further added that this is because of the western disturbance line of wind discontinuity from east central Arabian Sea to west Vidharbha that is taking the moisture from the Arabian Sea.
