Pune Weather in December

Pune sits on the Deccan Plateau at an elevation of roughly 560 meters, nestled between the Sahyadri (Western Ghats) mountain range to its west and rolling plateau terrain to the east. The city's climate is shaped by the monsoon shadow effect — western neighborhoods closer to the Ghats receive significantly heavier rainfall than the drier eastern suburbs. Winters are cool and dry with morning fog in river valleys, while pre-monsoon summers are hot but moderated compared to lowland cities thanks to Pune's elevation.

Holiday season. Many cities decorate beautifully. Book ahead for December travel.
