Mumbai, November 13, 2026: The city is bracing for a winter-like chill as temperatures dip to a minimum of 18.9°C, a significant 2.7°C below normal. The maximum temperature for the day hovered at 35.3°C, 1.4°C cooler than usual. Humidity levels are low at 62%. From the morning, a haze is anticipated, with clear skies expected in the afternoon and evening.
The India Meteorological Department predicts temperatures to range from around 19°C at night to a maximum of 35°C. Rajesh Kapadia, an independent weather forecaster, attributes the drop in temperature to the early onset of sea breezes. He believes the current conditions will persist for a few days, though a prolonged winter feel is unlikely.
Adding to the city's concerns over deteriorating air quality, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) plans to install an additional five air quality index (AQI) monitoring stations. These new stations will be situated in Mulund (East), Borivali (West), Goregaon (East), Dahisar (East), and Khar (H-West ward). The five new stations will be added to the existing 28 AQI monitoring stations currently in operation.
The estimated cost of Rs 22 crore for the installation is projected to be completed within the next six months.
