Mumbai witnessed moderate temperatures and bright sunshine on Wednesday, providing temporary relief from the recent spell of cooler weather. The city recorded typical late-winter conditions, with clear skies and comfortable mornings.
According to the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Mumbai is expected to continue experiencing mainly clear skies through the day. Temperatures are likely to range between 21 degrees Celsius and 34 degrees Celsius, consistent with weather patterns observed over the past few weeks.
Smog layer reduces visibility across city
A dense layer of smog enveloped parts of Mumbai later in the day, significantly reducing visibility in several areas. The hazy skyline raised fresh concerns about air pollution and its potential health impact on residents.
Experts warn that prolonged exposure to such conditions can lead to respiratory issues, especially among children, the elderly, and individuals with pre-existing health conditions.
Air quality across Mumbai remained uneven, with several areas reporting moderate pollution levels. According to data from the Centre’s SAMEER app, the city’s overall Air Quality Index (AQI) stood at 97 on Wednesday morning, placing it in the ‘satisfactory’ category.
However, readings across key locations reflected varying conditions. Bandra-Kurla Complex recorded an AQI of 125, Andheri East 133, and Deonar 137. Other areas such as Kandivali (111), Malad (109), and Mulund West (94) also reported moderate levels, while relatively better air quality was observed in Bandra East (58), Colaba (68), and Byculla (83).
