Mumbai on Friday is likely to experience mainly clear skies across the city and suburbs, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
With the weather across Mumbai having been reported as clear, the fairly cold temperature has been making the atmosphere a lot more pleasant compared to the humid and hot weather a few weeks ago.
The weather agency IMD on Friday predicted clear skies in the city and suburbs. The weather agency on Friday further predicted maximum and minimum temperatures likely to be around 33 degrees Celsius and 20 degrees Celsius.
At Colaba, the minimum temperature was recorded at 22.6 degrees Celsius with 69 per cent relative humidity. No rainfall was reported, while the total seasonal rainfall so far stands at 216.3 millimetres.
As per the IMD, at the Santacruz observatory, the minimum temperature was 18.4 degrees Celsius, and humidity stood at 55 per cent. The station recorded no rain, keeping Mumbai's seasonal rainfall total at 106.6 millimetres.
Elsewhere in the Konkan region, Ratnagiri in the last 24 hours reported a minimum temperature of 20.5 degrees Celsius with 55 per cent humidity and no rainfall, while its cumulative rainfall for the season stood at 405.7 millimetres.
Furthermore, in the western Maharashtra belt, Satara reported hazy weather conditions with a minimum temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and 53 per cent humidity. Mahabaleshwar, the hill station, remained the coolest in the region with a minimum of 12 degrees Celsius and no rainfall recorded.
While the weather across the city remains pleasant, the city woke up on Friday to a hazy morning yet again, raising concern over worsening air quality. While the mist disappeared over the course of the day.
The Central Pollution Control Board's SAMEER app reported in its latest Mumbai weather updates that the city's air quality is in the 'moderate' category with an AQI of 160.
Experts have warned that AQI is likely to worsen as winter approaches, which was the scene previously in 2023-24. As the western part of the country moves from prolonged rains to impending winter, Mumbai has consistently recorded worsening AQI during this seasonal change since 2022, particularly from November to January. This is due to reduced atmospheric moisture and considerably slow wind speed in comparison to the monsoon months.
