Pune is experiencing pleasant partly cloudy to sunny weather on Friday, December 12, 2025, with cool mornings and warm afternoons creating comfortable conditions throughout the day. The minimum temperature is hovering around 10–12°C, while the maximum is expected to reach 28–30°C, creating a pleasant day-night temperature contrast ideal for outdoor activities. Humidity levels remain moderate at 65–75%, and light to moderate winds are blowing from the northeast at speeds of 12–15 kmph, helping to maintain comfortable conditions and aid in pollutant dispersion.
Air Quality Status and Pollution Levels
Pune's air quality has improved from earlier in the winter season, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) settling in the moderate range at 120–150 across various monitoring stations in the city. Particulate matter PM2.5 levels are around 40–50 µg/m³, while PM10 stands at 70–90 µg/m³, both within acceptable limits for general population exposure. The moderate air quality is attributed to the consistent northeast winds and the location of Pune at a higher elevation (560m above sea level), which facilitates better air circulation and pollutant dispersion. No air quality alerts have been issued, indicating that outdoor activities are suitable for all segments of the population, including vulnerable groups.
