Mumbai to witness hot and humid weather on Friday (File pic)
Mumbai is likely to experience a warm and humid day on Friday, with no significant rainfall expected, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). Data recorded on June 12 showed that both the city and suburban observatories registered minimum temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius.
The IMD said the Colaba observatory recorded a minimum temperature of 30.2 degrees Celsius, while the Santacruz observatory registered 30.1 degrees Celsius.
The temperatures indicate that the city continued to witness warm and humid conditions despite the onset of the southwest monsoon over parts of the region. High overnight temperatures, coupled with humidity, contributed to uncomfortable weather for residents.
While the city continues to experience humid weather, Mumbai's air quality remained within the "Satisfactory" category on Friday.
According to data from the Central Pollution Control Board's (CPCB) SAMEER application, the city's overall Air Quality Index (AQI) stood at 65. An AQI within this range indicates that air quality is generally acceptable and poses minimal health risks for most people.
Air quality readings across Mumbai's monitoring stations largely remained within the satisfactory range.
Bandra Kurla Complex recorded an AQI of 71, while Kandivali reported 79. Borivali registered an AQI of 56, Byculla recorded 78, and Ghatkopar reported 100. Powai's AQI stood at 29, while Andheri recorded 46, making it one of the few locations to fall within the "Good" air quality category.
The readings indicate relatively stable air quality conditions across different parts of the city despite prevailing weather fluctuations.
Neighbouring areas in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) also reported satisfactory air quality levels.
Thane recorded an AQI of 78, while Navi Mumbai registered 54. Both locations remained within the satisfactory category, suggesting that pollution levels were under control across the wider metropolitan region.
Under CPCB guidelines, an AQI between 51 and 100 is classified as "Satisfactory", indicating minor or no health concerns for the general population. AQI values between 0 and 50 fall under the "Good" category and reflect cleaner air conditions with minimal health impacts.
Maharashtra continued to experience intense hot weather conditions on Thursday, with several districts across the Vidarbha region recording maximum temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius.
Wardha emerged as the hottest district in the state and recorded 44.5 degrees Celsius, followed closely by Brahmapuri at 44.2 degrees Celsius and Nagpur at 44.0 degrees Celsius.
