PUNE: Localities across Aundh, Baner and Pashan areas received light rainfall on Saturday evening as the India Meteorological Department’s (IMD) observatory in Pashan recorded 2.9mm rain for the 12 hours ending at 8.30am on Sunday. The IMD observatories at Shivajinagar, which covers the central parts of the city, and Lohegaon which covers the eastern fringes, recorded nil rainfall during this period. Cloudy conditions and morning chill prevailed on Sunday and IMD has forecast similar conditions to prevail for the next two days. Anupam Kashyapi, head of the weather forecast division of the IMD, told TOI on Sunday, “There is a small chance of getting rainfall over the state and Pune district as well for the next few days due to the formation of a depression over the Arabian Sea. It will not have any impact on the weather conditions of the Indian subcontinent.” The night temperature of the city may fall marginally in the coming days, he said, “The sky conditions mainly clear. So, there is a chance of increasing day temperature and it will hover between 33-34 degrees Celsius while the night temperature will be between 17 degrees Celsius and 19 degrees Celsius.” Light to very light rainfall may occur in the southern region of the Konkan in the next few days, Kashyapi said, adding, “The rainfall is likely to take place in the Sindhudurg and Ratnagiri districts.”
