The Indian Meteorological Department declared on Thursday that monsoon has officially withdrawn from Mumbai. But a few showers may be expected due to the very high humidity levels.

With Wednesday recording daytime temperature of 36.4 degrees and Thursday following suit, Mumbaikars can expect days to get hotter till the end of this week. This is attributed to October heat, where generally daytime temperatures hover around 36 degrees. With such erratic temperatures, monsoon-related diseases are also on the rise, with the city recording 2846 cases of fever, 232 cases of malaria and 197 cases of gastro in the past one week alone. With the increased heat, health experts predict that monsoon-related diseases will now show a decline.
