Explaining the changing weather pattern, SD Sanap, Senior Meteorologist at the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Pune, said the district was currently experiencing predominantly dry weather conditions, with no significant active weather systems over the state. The influence of northerly cool winds was contributing to the gradual decline in temperatures across Pune and other parts of Maharashtra.
