Mumbai awoke to a delightful Monday under clear blue skies, with balmy temperatures and a gentle breeze offering residents a welcome respite from the city’s usual humid intensity. The daytime high hovered at 28.2°C, dipping to a comfortable 23.5°C overnight, while average readings settled around 25.8°C amid 49% humidity. Winds clocked in at 10.1 km/h, ensuring a light, refreshing flow throughout the day. With zero chance of rain, the conditions proved perfect for picnics in the parks, seaside strolls along Marine Drive, or simply soaking up the rare November sunshine.
Yet, this meteorological mercy comes with a caveat: air quality lingered in the moderate range, registering an AQI-IN of 81 on Sunday—a slight uptick from Saturday’s 77. Data from AQI.in highlighted PM2.5 levels at 47 and PM10 at 64, both within tolerable bounds, alongside carbon monoxide readings of 287, which, though marginally higher, posed no immediate alarm. Experts urge caution in high-traffic corridors like the Western Express Highway or Dadar junctions, where pollutants can concentrate. “Those with respiratory sensitivities or children should opt for masks during rush hours,” advises a note from the monitoring service, emphasizing vigilance without undue worry.
As the week unfolds, the Indian Meteorological Department anticipates a steady warm-up, banishing any lingering coolness. Tuesday’s forecast calls for a high of 28.8°C and low of 23.1°C under persistent clear skies. Temperatures will climb further, peaking at 29.4°C on Wednesday and 30.1°C on Thursday, with nighttime dips holding steady between 23.3°C and 23.6°C. The weekend from November 14 to 16 mirrors this trend, with daytime averages near 30°C and evenings cooling to 23.7°C–24°C. Humidity may nudge upward slightly by Sunday, but overall stability prevails, underscoring Mumbai’s classic mid-November rhythm of abundant daylight and mild evenings.
This sunny stretch invites the city to reclaim its vibrant outdoor pulse—think bustling Bandra cafes or yoga sessions at Juhu Beach—while keeping an eye on urban air currents. For now, the metropolis breathes easy, blending natural ease with a reminder of its environmental pulse.
