Due to the softening of the road, a car tyre mark was witnessed at a street in south Mumbai as city reels under heat

Pedestrians cover their faces outside Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus to protect themselves from the harsh peak afternoon sunlight 

The afternoon heat was seen making every worker’s day tougher

With temperatures ranging between 25 degrees Celsius and 35 degrees Celsius, people in parts of the city were seen sheilding themselves

Both Colaba and Santacruz record minimum temperatures of 24 degrees Celsius, offering little relief from the ongoing heat spell

The IMD issues a yellow alert for Mumbai, Thane, Palghar, and nearby regions, warning of rising temperatures and possible heatwave conditions in parts of Maharashtra.
