Pune Swelters in August Heat; Monsoon Pause to End Soon

Pune is feeling hot and sticky like it does in October, even though it's August.

The weather feels this way because the air is very humid and the sun is shining strongly without clouds to block the heat.

The monsoon rains, which usually cool things down, have taken a break.

Experts say this weather will continue for a couple of days, but it should change when rain comes, thanks to a weather system over the Arabian Sea.

Pune has experienced even hotter Augusts in the past, but this is still an unusual and uncomfortable spell.
