Chembur, Colaba, Worli and Mazagaon also reported dangerously high air-quality readings

Earlier in the morning, residents enjoyed unusually mild temperatures, offering brief respite from the city’s typical warmth and humidity

Minimum temperatures fell just below 21 degrees Celsius, giving early-morning walkers and commuters a taste of pre-winter cool accompanied by clear skies and light winds

But the refreshing start was dampened by the haze

According to IMD Mumbai, Colaba recorded a maximum temperature of 33.2 degrees Celsius with no rainfall, while Santacruz registered a maximum of 33.5 degrees Celsius with zero rainfall
