On Monday, the temperatures in South Mumbai's Charni Road and Marine Drive areas reached 33 degrees Celsius but felt closer to 40 degrees Celsius due to high humidity and heat intensity
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) reported clear skies over the city, with no immediate signs of rainfall relief
The intensity of the heat has been apparent since the morning hours
Weather officials have issued advisories urging citizens to avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, limit outdoor activities during peak hours, and stay adequately hydrated
A light haze was observed over parts of South Mumbai, slightly impacting visibility. While not severe, it reflects the combined effect of rising temperatures and air quality fluctuations
