Mumbai weather update: City to experience clear skies, but air quality deteriorates

Mumbai will witness clear skies throughout the week, as per IMD forecasts. However, rising temperatures and worsening air quality remain a concern for residents.

According to the meteorological report, heavy temperature changes have already made their presence known around the vicinity of Mumbai by burning away all remnants of cold weather. On March 11, light winds projected at 5km/h will accompany clear skies while the sun will increasingly become sharper during the day due to the humidity levels of 42%. Unfortunately, as the month proclaims, temperature changes are a constantly growing sore that must be dealt with.

The IMD has gone ahead and predicted warm winds to appear, peaking at 34 degrees and the city's population is already familiar with the warmth as it rises grossly every week. Seeing the sun comes through the cracks of the clouds at 6:51 AM will be a blessing and it’ll go down at 6:47 PM. It's kind of surprising to see that even in winter, Mumbai is blessed with elevated temperatures than prior weeks and will likely sustain it for the next week too.

The weather forecast has repeated the prediction for March 12 as well, with expectations of windless days flagging off at 23 degrees to 34 degrees. It's becoming a no brainer to deduce that India is easing into an early summer as the scorching poles tend to heat the place up gradually.
