June 2026 in Baner, Pune, brought cleaner air than May, with the average AQI dropping from 45.9 to 29.1. The temperature cooled by 1.9°C to an average of 28.9°C, and rainfall was substantially less, down from 40.4mm to 9mm. Bird activity decreased, with 2873 confirmed detections compared to 5296 in May, and the number of confirmed species fell from 49 to 38. Compared to June 2025, the air was cleaner by 6.7 AQI points. However, the average temperature was warmer by 4.1°C, and rainfall was dramatically lower, falling from 263.3mm over 21 rainy days. This mixes a model estimate for 2025 with station readings from 2026, so it is not a trend.

No data
No BirdNET data before March 2026 (this is "no data", not zero).

Caution: 2025 temperature and rain are Open-Meteo model estimates; 2026 values are Baner Weather Union station readings. Direction is shown but this mixes a model with a station and is not a trend.

The long view · ERA5 reanalysis (a model, not a station)

ERA5 reanalysis, 1980–2021, 42 years: June in context

ERA5 is a reanalysis model (Copernicus / ECMWF), not a station. It is shown beside, and never subtracted from, Open-Meteo or station values. The bias-free signal is ERA5 compared with ERA5 (early 1981-90 vs recent 2012-21).

ERA5 normal, 1981–2010 (30 years)

  • Wettest: 1991 (593.5 mm)
  • Driest: 2014 (45.5 mm)
This month, separate series · Baner station
June 2026: average 28.9 °C, rain 9 mm.

Shown beside ERA5, not subtracted from it. A station near the city and a 30 km reanalysis grid measure different things, so the gap between them is not a warming figure. The bias-free change is ERA5 against itself, above.

"Not heard" means no confirmed detection (0.70 or higher) on the recorder, not that the bird left the hill. Rare birds with 1–2 detections move in and out of these lists by chance.

Two separate records, drawn on separate charts with separate axes: ERA5 reanalysis for 1980–2021, then Earth Pulse's own record for the last few years. They are never joined into one line.

EU AQI, lower = cleaner. Daily cache (ep_daily_climate). aqi_avg is the average of daily means. Clean day = the day's worst hour stayed at EU AQI 40 or below; high-pollution day = the worst hour reached 61 or more. Bar: share of clean days (green) and high-pollution days (red).

Days that stood out in June 2026

  • Hottest day: 1 June 2026, 37.3 °C
  • Coolest night: 24 June 2026, 22.2 °C
  • Rainiest day: 24 June 2026, 4.6 mm
  • Cleanest air: 23 June 2026, daily-average EU AQI 16.6
  • Haziest air: 8 June 2026, daily-average EU AQI 55.1

How this June ranks

  • Average AQI: the 2nd highest (haziest) of 4 Junes held by Earth Pulse.

Temperature and rain are not ranked: earlier years come from a different source (Open-Meteo model vs station).

Same calendar month across the sensor years held (up to the last 4 years plus this one). Rank 1 = lowest value. ERA5 is never ranked together with these.

On ERA5 (a separate record, 1980–2021) the warmest June was 2019 and the wettest 1991. ERA5 is never ranked together with Earth Pulse values.

ERA5 reanalysis normal 1981-2010 for the coming month. A long-term average, not a forecast. ERA5 runs cooler than a station near the city, so read these as the shape of the season rather than a number to expect on the Baner gauge.

Questions people ask

June 2026 in Baner: frequently asked questions

What was the air quality in Baner, Pune in June 2026?

The average EU AQI in Baner in June 2026 was 29.1 (range 11–64; lower is cleaner), cleaner than May 2026 (45.9). 25 of 30 complete days were clean-air days, meaning the worst hour stayed at EU AQI 40 or below, and 2 were high-pollution days (worst hour 61 or more). Counting daily averages instead, 87% of days averaged EU AQI 40 or below.

How much rain fell in Baner in June 2026?

Baner received 9 mm of rain in June 2026 (Baner Weather Union station), drier than May 2026 (40.4 mm). 1 day was a rainy day under the IMD rule of 2.5 mm or more in an IST day; 5 days had at least 0.3 mm. The wettest day was 24 June 2026 with 4.6 mm.

How hot was Baner in June 2026?

Temperatures in Baner ranged from 22.2 °C to 37.3 °C in June 2026, with a monthly average of 28.9 °C (Baner Weather Union station). That was cooler than May 2026 (30.8 °C); the hottest day was 1 June 2026 at 37.3 °C. June 2025 averaged 24.8 °C, but that value is an Open-Meteo model estimate, so the year-on-year gap is not a trend.

Which birds were heard on Baner Hill in June 2026?

BirdNET confirmed 38 bird species from 2,873 detections at confidence 0.70 or higher on Baner Hill in June 2026. The most active confirmed species was the Asian Koel (1,548 detections), and birds called most at 18:00 IST. Counting every recorded detection, including lower-confidence candidates, there were 108 candidate species in 20,601 detections.

How natural did Baner Hill sound in June 2026?

The mean soundscape index (NDSI, 0 to 1; higher means more natural sound relative to human noise) was 0.38 in June 2026, with a median of 0.384 from 1,038 valid readings. That is similar to May 2026 (mean 0.373).

How does June 2026 compare with the long-term climate in Baner?

On ERA5 reanalysis (Copernicus / ECMWF), the 1981–2010 normal for June in the Baner grid cell is 25 °C with 218.9 mm of rain. Compared with itself, ERA5 changed by +0.17 °C between 1981–90 and 2012–21. ERA5 is a 30 km model grid, so it is shown beside this month's readings (28.9 °C, 9 mm), not subtracted from them.

Methods & definitions

How this report was made

Definitions

  • Rainy day: 2.5 mm or more of rain in the IST calendar day (India Meteorological Department). Less than 0.3 mm is a trace and counts as dry. The month's rain total still adds up every drop.
  • Clean-air day: the day's worst hour stayed at European AQI 40 or below. High-pollution day: the worst hour reached EU AQI 61 or more. Only days with at least 18 hourly readings count.
  • Confirmed bird: a BirdNET detection with confidence 0.70 or higher. Tiers (0.70, 0.50, 0.30, 0.15) are nested: each includes the higher ones.
  • Species momentum: "more" or "less active" needs a change of at least 25% and at least 5 detections; otherwise "stable".
  • Soundscape (NDSI): readings outside 0–1 are calibration errors and are dropped; a change in the monthly mean smaller than 0.02 is "similar".
  • Model vs station: temperature and rain before 10 Oct 2025 are Open-Meteo model estimates; from then on they are Baner Weather Union station readings. ERA5 is a third, separate record.

Sources

  • Air quality, temperature, humidity and rain: Earth Pulse daily cache (ep_daily_climate). Temperature and rain are Open-Meteo model estimates before 10 Oct 2025 and Baner Weather Union station readings from then.
  • Birds: BirdNET acoustic AI on the Baner Hill node. Monitoring began in March 2026; earlier months have no bird data. Headline numbers count detections at confidence 0.70 or higher; lower tiers are nested.
  • Soundscape: NDSI readings from the Baner Hill node, keeping 0 to 1 only.
  • Long-term context: ERA5 reanalysis (Copernicus / ECMWF), 1980-2021, 42 years. A model, not a station; compared only with itself.

Notes

  • The share of clean days uses the daily-average AQI (EU scale). Older posts counted the share of hours.
  • Hottest, coolest and rainiest days come from the daily cache and can differ by rounding from hourly readings.
  • Pulse Score = 0.4 x (100 - average AQI) + 0.3 x min(100, confirmed detections / 8) + 0.3 x share of clean days.

ERA5: contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information (1980-2021). Neither the European Commission nor ECMWF is responsible for any use of it.

Time zone: Asia/Kolkata (IST); a month runs from 00:00 IST on the 1st to 00:00 IST on the 1st of the next month. Figures computed by the Earth Pulse Worker (data 2026.10.06-r3-monthly-seo); the written story is generated by AI from those figures only.
