  "account": "Mumbai continued to see temperatures soaring above 36°C on Tuesday, with Santacruz Observatory documenting a peak of 36.6°C—2.4°C higher than the usual October average. Though temporary respite came in the form of low humidity at 58%, the comfort was short-lived as weather experts predict temperatures will climb by a few degrees in the coming days.\n\nThe Meteorological Department's Bikram Singh explained that northerly winds currently prevailing are responsible for the cooler temperatures and reduced humidity.

The regions with the most deteriorated AQI were Bandra Kurla Complex (143), Mazgaon (135), Bhandup West (125), and Shivaji Nagar (120).
