Mumbai has been experiencing a noticeable dip in temperatures, providing residents with a welcome respite. The Santacruz weather station recorded a maximum temperature of 33.8°C and a minimum of 18°C, marking a significant shift from the usual conditions. With the cooler weather, the city is also witnessing improvements in air quality. Colaba and Borivali, in particular, have reported air quality indices that have shifted into the ‘good’ category, reflecting a marked decrease in pollution levels.
The change in weather patterns comes as Mumbai enters the post-monsoon season, which often brings relief from the humidity and heat of the summer months. The fresh breeze and lower humidity levels are contributing to a more comfortable atmosphere across various parts of the city.
Authorities have reported that the air quality improvements are due to a combination of favourable meteorological conditions, including wind patterns and reduced local emissions. The shift from the ‘moderate’ to ‘good’ category in air quality, particularly in areas like Colaba and Borivali, has been a welcome change for residents who have been affected by pollution in recent months.
As the city continues to experience pleasant weather, the outlook for the coming days remains positive. Meteorologists predict that temperatures may remain lower than usual, offering some relief from the typical heat. The improvement in air quality is expected to persist, especially with reduced vehicular emissions and the ongoing seasonal changes.
