Air quality update

Today's Air Quality Index (AQI) in Mumbai stands at 183, which falls under the "moderate" category. While the air quality is not hazardous for the general population, individuals with respiratory issues, such as asthma, and young children should limit prolonged outdoor exposure. It's essential to stay informed about the AQI to make better decisions about outdoor activities and minimise potential health risks.

Impact of cyclone Fengal

The IMD also mentioned that the recent rise in temperatures could be attributed to Cyclone Fengal, which formed over the eastern and southeastern coasts of India. The cyclone has led to substantial rainfall in southern and eastern regions, impacting the overall weather patterns across the country.

Weather outlook for tomorrow

Looking ahead, Mumbai is expected to have a similar weather pattern on Monday, December 9, with partly cloudy skies continuing. The temperatures are anticipated to range between 21°C and 31°C, with moderate humidity and gentle winds. The sun will rise at 5:01 am and set at 6:01 pm.
