A woman was killed and two others injured in Pune after a tree collapsed on Sinhagad road due to heavy rain and strong winds.
The city witnessed its highest-ever single-day rainfall for April, with Shivajinagar recording 65 mm rainfall, surpassing the previous record of 51.1 mm set in 1896.
The intense spell caused widespread disruption, with waterlogging, trees falling, and traffic snarls reported across Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad.
Emergency services were stretched as the fire brigade responded to over 80 incidents of treefall in Pune and additional calls from Pimpri-Chinchwad.
The IMD has issued a yellow alert for April 3, forecasting light to moderate rainfall with thunderstorms, although the intensity is expected to reduce from April 4.
