Mumbai: Mumbai experienced another warm and humid morning on Sunday, June 14, with temperatures hovering around 32 degrees Celsius as the city continued to wait for the arrival of the southwest monsoon.
According to weather forecasts, uncomfortable conditions are likely to persist across the city over the next few days due to the delayed advancement of the monsoon. High humidity levels have further added to the discomfort for residents.
Temperature And Weather Conditions
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted that Mumbai’s temperature is expected to remain between 30 degrees Celsius and 35 degrees Celsius. Despite cloudy intervals in some areas, the city continued to witness sultry weather conditions on Sunday morning.
Humidity levels remained high, making the weather feel warmer than the recorded temperature. Mild winds offered limited relief from the sticky conditions prevailing across Mumbai and nearby suburbs.
