Meteorological Department’s advance warning

The Meteorological Department had predicted the possibility of unseasonal rain between March 31 and April 2. However, the strong sunlight during the day and sudden heavy rain in the afternoon surprised people. According to experts, moisture coming from the Arabian Sea and instability in the lower atmosphere are the main reasons for this weather change. Due to this, a situation of sudden heavy rain and hailstorm occurred.

Impact on traffic and life

Heavy rain has had the biggest impact on traffic. Many roads were filled with knee-deep water, making driving difficult. Vehicles were stopped at many places and people had to travel on foot. Office goers and school-college students were especially worried.

Relief from heat, but increased problems

While the rain brought down the temperature and people got relief from the heat, water logging created new problems. This sudden weather change also exposed the city’s preparedness, as the drainage system appeared to have failed at many places.

Alert for next few hours

The weather department has predicted rain again in the coming hours. The city is still cloudy, due to which the situation may worsen. The administration has advised people to avoid unnecessary travel and remain alert. Especially people living in low-lying areas have been asked to take extra precautions.

vigilance is protection

This sudden heavy rain in Pune has made it clear that vigilance is very important amid the changing weather. In such a situation, the responsibility of both the administration and the citizens increases to take precautions and be prepared to deal with any emergency.
