Pune has been receiving continuous rains in the monsoon this year, which has led to an increase in water stock.
The southwest monsoon hit Kerala on May 24, a week earlier than usual, marking its earliest arrival on the Indian mainland since 2009. The normal onset date for the southwest monsoon is June 1.
May 2025 was the wettest month in India since 1901, with an average rainfall of 126.7 mm.
The early onset of the southwest monsoon brought continuous rainfall across southern and eastern India, contributing to this record.
