  "account": "Pune has experienced light to moderate rainfall due to the indirect impact of Cyclone Murasu over the Bay of Bengal. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicts this spell will continue for another day or two before gradually turning dry after November 5. Dr. SD Sanap, a scientist at IMD Pune, explains that while the cyclone's direct impact is not being felt in Maharashtra, its changing atmospheric conditions have contributed to increased humidity and rainfall in some areas. The southward shift of the subtropical jet stream is also causing the formation of high clouds and thundershowers. Areas such as Pune, Ahilyanagar, Nashik, Satara, Sangli, Kolhapur, along with some coastal districts, have recorded light to moderate rainfall, with heavier rainfall in Pune and Ahilyanagar. Marathwada and Vidarbha are largely experiencing dry weather, though isolated rainfall and thunderstorms are possible. The cyclone's movement after landfall in Andhra Pradesh will determine whether its influence extends further into Maharashtra. The ongoing La Niña, which is expected to intensify in December and January, could impact temperatures and other weather conditions, though the rainfall is unlikely to significantly benefit farmers preparing for the Rabi season. Sanap notes that the current rainfall is light to moderate and may offer only temporary relief to farmers. Rainfall activity is expected to continue on November 2 and 3, with decreasing intensity from November 4, after which most of Maharashtra is likely to experience dry weather.",
