Pune: Rainfall Eases After Heavy Downpour; Khadakwasla Dam System Near Full Capacity
Pune's low-pressure system over Chhattisgarh and Vidarbha weakened, reducing rainfall intensity.
Pune recorded a maximum of 28.6°C and minimum of 23.1°C on Saturday; IMD expects temperatures to remain largely unchanged for two days.
The Khadakwasla dam system's water storage increased to 28.61 TMC (over 98% of capacity) from 3.66 TMC a month ago.
Khadakwasla and Varasgaon dams reached full capacity, prompting authorities to release about 6 TMC of water for safety.
Heavy rainfall is likely over ghat areas on Sunday, while rainfall may reduce across Maharashtra in the coming week.
