Mumbai, during the early hours of Saturday, experienced partly cloudy skies. As the day progressed, the conditions became hot. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Saturday said that hot and humid conditions across the city and suburbs are likely to continue.
The weather forecast agency also highlighted that there is no rain expected in the next 24 hours.
With hot and humid conditions likely to continue, temperatures on Saturday are likely to stay above seasonal comfort levels. The maximum temperature is likely to reach around 35 degrees Celsius, while the minimum temperature is expected to remain close to 28 degrees Celsius.
While the city continues to experience humid weather, Mumbai's air quality remained within the "Satisfactory" category on Thursday.
According to data from the Central Pollution Control Board's (CPCB) SAMEER application, the city's overall Air Quality Index (AQI) stood at 61. 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 73, while Kandivali reported 80. Borivali registered an AQI of 57, Byculla recorded 87, and Ghatkopar reported 85. Deonar's AQI stood at 51, while Andheri recorded 40, 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 74, while Navi Mumbai registered 57. 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.
