Mumbai Hit by Early Heatwave, Yellow Alert Issued
Mumbai experienced an unseasonably high temperature spike on Wednesday, motivating a yellow alert.
- Santacruz tape-recorded an optimum of 38 7 ° C, nearly 6 levels over typical.
- Colaba got to 35 7 ° C, 4 5 levels over standard.
- Akola registered the state’s highest temperature at 39 3 ° C.
The India Meteorological Division (IMD) associates the early heat to easterly winds and an anticyclonic flow. This marks the earliest temperature rise in March in a decade. While Mumbai is currently clear, Thane, Palghar, and Raigad continue to be under a yellow alert.
