The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a yellow alert for Pune, warning of thunderstorms accompanied by light to moderate rainfall over the next five days. This sudden change in weather is attributed to high daytime temperatures and increased humidity in the region.
The IMD has cautioned that the weather conditions may impact agriculture, electricity supply, and local infrastructure. Citizens have been advised to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions.
The forecasted unseasonal rains pose a significant threat to standing crops, orchards, and livestock. Lightning activity could lead to temporary power outages, and there is a risk of falling trees, electricity poles, and damage to temporary structures.
The civic administration and the Meteorological Department have appealed to both citizens and farmers to stay alert and follow safety guidelines to minimize the risk of damage or injury.
