Weather in Pune in July

Shoulder season. July sits in between. You will get good days and you will lose some. You should expect rain on 29 days of the month, which is more days wet than dry.

July ranks 6 of 12 in Pune: past the worst of the year but short of December, which is the month to book if the dates are open.

Rain on 29 of the month's 31 days, 15 of them heavy. At that frequency a wet-weather backup is not a contingency, it is the itinerary — book the indoor things first and treat the clear days as the bonus. Natural fibres and a second shirt for the day. At 89% nothing dries, including you.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: the day barely swings — 4.8 °C between the overnight low and the afternoon high. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest July day reached 33.2 °C and the coldest night fell to 19.5 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 124 mm — roughly 24% of the month's rain in one day.

July is statistically steady but not small: the year-to-year variation is modest in relative terms, yet the wettest July on record still delivered 862 mm against 88 mm in the driest. In a month this wet, even a tame spread is a lot of rain in absolute terms — the 515 mm average is a reasonable planning figure, not a promise.

Wind sits around 17.5 km/h — a steady breeze rather than a nuisance, and welcome on the warmer days, and humidity at 89% is the real story though — it is the number that decides how the day feels, not the 27.4 °C.

How July sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 30.5 °C in June, 27.4 here, 26.8 in August. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much. Rain has already shifted: 6 days more than June had.

Daylight in July

July is at or near the longest days of Pune's year: 13.1 hours of daylight, holding steady all month. Evenings are the real gain — dinner outdoors still happens in full light.

An inland climate

With no coast nearby, the year swings a fair way — 25.8 °C between the warmest afternoons and the coldest nights, wider than any coastal city at this latitude would manage.

How busy it gets

Shoulder. The value months — prices ease off and you get the place closer to itself.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

July in Pune versus nearby

If Pune is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Mumbai is the weaker option in July — within a degree on temperature, the same number of rain days. Virār is close enough to be a coin toss — within a degree on temperature, the same number of rain days.

So: July is a compromise. December is 39 points better and is what Pune is actually like at its best — worth moving the trip for if that is possible, and worth adjusting expectations for if it is not.
