#OldJokesThatHaveGoneStale
Jokes need to be refreshed and updated😉..Here are two often repeated examples:
1. Punekars shutting shop from 1-4 pm (Chitale example)
2. IMD forecasts are opposite of what happen
These may have had some validity few decades back, but not anymore!

Yes, the old Pune city of a few decades back had many business establishments shutting shop in the afternoon. Not anymore. Very few continue that old tradition.
Out of the 20+ @ChitaleGroup company and franchise stores in #Pune...my guess is only 1-2 continue the practice.

Almost all new stores and of course, malls are open all day. True for the old city stores as well.
Of course - many Punekars (like me) may not mind the old afternoon 'siesta' jokes :) ...(even we recycle them at times!)... but worth noting, they are a bit anachronistic now.

Same is true for the IMD and weather forecasting jokes. Even today I heard some jokes about how if IMD says something...the opposite will happen :)
Do note - over the past decade - IMD has made BIG improvements in their long term and short term forecasting...

...using the latest technologies (satellite data, super computing at @iitmpune, and more).
The accuracy of both long term and short term forecasts have improvement significantly. And IMD is also improving the outreach and dissemination via social media, apps, etc.

Of course, there is always an opportunity to improve more - and I am sure they will.
But for now - do checkout their websites, social media, and individual feeds of scientists - for the latest weather updates.
Also...important to improve some basic weather/climate literacy!
