The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has announced that central Maharashtra is likely to experience three to four additional heatwave days in May, despite forecasts of above-normal rainfall in most regions. While daytime temperatures across many districts are expected to remain normal or below normal, the Konkan belt may see above-normal daytime temperatures. A significant trend this month is the anticipated persistence of warmer nights, with minimum temperatures expected to be above normal in most areas. This combination of rainfall and rising night temperatures could lead to humid conditions across several districts. Mrutyunjay Mohapatra, director of the IMD, noted that the Monsoon Mission Coupled Forecasting System indicates a likelihood of El Nino development during the southwest monsoon season, which may affect the timing and advancement of the monsoon across India. In Pune, daytime temperatures have dropped significantly since late April, with current readings around 20.2°C at night, and the city is expected to have clear skies over the next few days without significant temperature increases.
