Parts of Mumbai continued to experience heat on April 24, with Ram Mandir recording the highest maximum temperature at 36.8 degrees Celsius, according to the IMD data
Other areas also saw elevated temperatures, with Vikhroli at 36.6 degrees Celsius, Vidyavihar at 35.9 degrees Celsius, Tata Power Chembur at 35.4 degrees Celsius, and Bandra and Dahisar both recording 35.1 degrees Celsius
Meanwhile, the air quality index of Mumbai on Friday is at 90, which comes under the 'Satisfactory' category as per the Central Pollution Control Board's Sameer App
Even as Mumbai’s overall Air Quality Index (AQI) remained in the ‘satisfactory’ category, several pockets reported poorer air quality. Areas including Bandra Kurla Complex, Borivali, Andheri East and Deonar recorded ‘moderate’ AQI levels, with readings crossing 100
A ‘moderate’ AQI can cause breathing discomfort, particularly among people with lung diseases, asthma and heart conditions.
