Mumbai is expected to experience partly cloudy skies with the possibility of light rain or thunderstorms in the city and suburban areas on Wednesday, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
The weather department has forecast continued hot and humid conditions across the metropolis, with temperatures remaining above seasonal comfort levels. The maximum temperature is likely to reach around 34 degrees Celsius, while the minimum temperature is expected to remain close to 29 degrees Celsius.
The forecast suggests that residents may witness intermittent cloud cover during the day, along with isolated spells of rain and thunderstorms in some parts of the city.
According to IMD Mumbai's weather observations recorded on June 10, Colaba registered a minimum temperature of 30 degrees Celsius along with 1 mm of rainfall. Santacruz recorded a minimum temperature of 29.5 degrees Celsius and received 0.1 mm of rainfall.
The rainfall activity remained limited during the previous 24 hours, but weather conditions indicate the possibility of brief showers and thunderstorm activity in isolated areas later in the day.
Despite the possibility of rain, humidity levels are expected to remain high, contributing to uncomfortable weather conditions across the city. Warm and muggy conditions are likely to prevail throughout the day, with only temporary relief from cloud cover and occasional showers.
Meteorologists have advised residents to remain prepared for sudden changes in weather, particularly during the afternoon and evening hours when thunderstorm activity is more likely to develop.
While the city continues to experience humid weather, Mumbai's air quality remained within the "Satisfactory" category on Wednesday.
According to data from the Central Pollution Control Board's (CPCB) SAMEER application, the city's overall Air Quality Index (AQI) stood at 71. 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 96, while Kandivali reported 93. Borivali registered an AQI of 94, Byculla recorded 81, and Ghatkopar reported 63. Colaba's AQI stood at 89, while Andheri recorded 38, 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 82, while Navi Mumbai registered 75. 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.
