The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) on Tuesday, May 12, said that hot and dry weather conditions across Mumbai and the suburbs are likely to continue for the next few days.
According to the weather update issued by IMD during the mid-hours of Tuesday, maximum temperatures remained high across the city, while humidity-driven heat continued to impact residents during daytime hours.
As per IMD's Colaba observatory (CLB), the maximum temperature was recorded at 34.8 degrees Celsius, with 0.0 mm rainfall. Similarly, at the Santacruz Observatory (SCZ), the maximum temperature stood at 34.4 degrees Celsius.
Earlier during the day, Ram Mandir recorded the highest maximum temperature at 37.9 degrees Celsius. Bandra recorded 35.6 degrees Celsius, followed by Vikhroli at 35.5 degrees Celsius. Vidyavihar reported 34.9 degrees Celsius, while Dahisar recorded 34.3 degrees Celsius.
Mumbai on Tuesday continued to experience warm and humid conditions, indicating the continued absence of pre-monsoon showers in the region.
Meteorological trends suggest that Mumbai continues to experience sustained warm weather, typical of the late summer period. The absence of rainfall has contributed to steady daytime heating, with coastal and suburban areas witnessing similar temperature patterns.
Along with Mumbai, parts of Maharashtra on Tuesday also continued to experience heatwave conditions, with temperatures crossing the 45 degrees Celsius mark in parts of Vidarbha.
According to data released by the India Meteorological Department (IMD), Akola recorded the highest maximum temperature in the region at 45.6 degrees Celsius on 12 May 2026. Amravati followed closely at 45.4 degrees Celsius, while Wardha registered 44.2 degrees Celsius.
Buldhana and Brahmpuri both recorded 43.5 degrees Celsius, while Nagpur touched 43 degrees Celsius. Chandrapur recorded 42.2 degrees Celsius, and Yavatmal reported 41.8 degrees Celsius, the weather department's data stated.
Minimum temperatures also remained high across Vidarbha, increasing discomfort during the night hours.
Akola recorded a minimum temperature of 29.1 degrees Celsius, among the highest in the region. Buldhana reported 28.8 degrees Celsius, while Chandrapur and Wardha both registered minimum temperatures of 28 degrees Celsius, it said.
Weather officials said the combination of high daytime temperatures and warm nights is contributing to heat stress in several districts.
