Mumbai is experiencing a sharp rise in temperatures, with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) reporting significantly above-normal readings across key observatories.
According to the IMD, Santacruz recorded a high of 38.7°C, while Colaba registered 35.7°C — both notably higher than the seasonal average for this time of year. The spike indicates persistent warm and humid conditions across the city.
Weather officials have issued a yellow alert for the neighbouring districts of Palghar, Thane and Raigad, cautioning residents about hot and uncomfortable weather. The alert signals the possibility of heat-related discomfort, particularly during afternoon hours.
Mumbai’s temperature is expected to hover around 35°C in the coming days, accompanied by high humidity levels typical of coastal regions. Such conditions can increase the “feels-like” temperature, making it significantly warmer than recorded readings.
Authorities have advised citizens to stay hydrated, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight during peak hours, and take necessary precautions, especially for children, senior citizens and individuals with health concerns.
With summer intensifying gradually, meteorologists suggest that residents prepare for sustained warm spells before any significant change in weather patterns.
