Pune is on the leeward side of the western ghats and so lies on a rain shadow area.The south west monsoon empties all moisture on the windward side of the mountain range and reaches Pune with less moisture after crossing the mountain range.But Mumbai lies on the windward side and hence experiences heavy rainfall.
