A lot of rain is expected over the next few days in Pune, and Pune has been placed under a red alert by the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The IMD forecast states that the city will see a "generally cloudy sky with moderate rain" through Sunday, with periods of precipitation lasting until July 30. Additionally, the forecast states that during this time, temperatures will vary from 23 to 29 degrees Celsius.
The city's water bodies have suffered greatly as a result of the constant rain. The constant rain caused the Khadakwasla Dam, a vital storage facility for Pune, to overflow. The authorities consequently decided to open the dam's gates on Thursday morning. Beginning around six in the morning, water is being dumped into the Mutha River at a rate of 40,000 seconds at a time.

The city's priorities in the next few days will be to keep essential services running, ensure citizen safety, and deal with the effects of the severe rains. Pune can withstand this storm and come out stronger if the proper policies are put in place and society comes together.
