Meteorologists link this shift in Pune Weather to the transition from winter to summer during March. Rising temperatures combined with moisture in the air create ideal conditions for thundercloud formation, leading to quick but intense weather changes.

While Pune is likely to experience mild activity, other regions of Maharashtra, especially Vidarbha and Marathwada, are under a Yellow Alert. These areas may see moderate rainfall, gusty winds of 30–40 km/h, and even hailstorms due to the influence of a Western Disturbance affecting northern India. Delhi-NCR Weather Forecast and Update: IMD Predicts 3-Day Rain Spell From March 19-21, Relief From Heat Likely.
