Pune sits on the leeward side of the Western Ghats in Maharashtra, giving it noticeably less rainfall than the coastal Konkan region just across the mountains, with most rain arriving during the June-to-September southwest monsoon. The city’s rivers, the Mula and Mutha, have flooded low-lying areas during exceptionally heavy spells, most notably in 2019, making radar tracking of intense rain bands useful for anticipating river-level rises.
