Every year, it has been seen that after the withdrawal of monsoon, the temperature increases. The weather remains hot till the end of October. Thereafter, the temperature dips in November and winter sets in. 

Sushma Nair, Scientist, IMD, Mumbai Said, "This is a transition period, therefore, heat increases and wind speed remains very slow during this. Therefore, people feel the heat more. It is a natural phenomenon that happens every year. The reason for the hot temperature is dry easterly and north easterly wind."
