Mumbai, December 4: The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has cautioned citizens to avoid the city’s coastline on Thursday night, as Mumbai braces for a high tide expected to reach 4.96 metres at 11.52 pm. The civic body has advised residents, particularly those in low-lying and coastal areas, to exercise utmost caution.
Warning for Coastal Areas from December 4–7
The BMC has issued alerts for the period between December 4 and 7, during which high tides above four metres are anticipated. Officials emphasised that citizens should remain vigilant, avoid venturing into the sea, and follow safety advisories from lifeguards and local authorities.
Crowd Advisory for Chaitya Bhoomi and Shivaji Park
In view of the death anniversary of Dr B.R. Ambedkar on December 6, the BMC has urged visitors to Chaitya Bhoomi in Dadar and nearby Shivaji Park to maintain a safe distance from the seashore. Thousands of followers visit the site each year to pay homage to the architect of the Indian Constitution, whose last rites were performed there in 1956.
BMC’s Safety Measures in Place
To prevent mishaps, the civic body is deploying additional personnel, barricades, and signage at sensitive spots along the coastline. Disaster management teams and local police have been placed on alert to ensure smooth crowd management and quick response in case of emergencies.
Clear and Stable Weather Ahead
Despite the high tide warning, Mumbai’s weather remains stable. The city will experience clear skies and dry conditions over the next few days. Temperatures will hover between 33–34°C during the day and 19–20°C at night, with minimal humidity. No rainfall or weather warnings have been issued by the India Meteorological Department (IMD).
Sunny Week Expected
From December 4 to 9, Mumbaikars can look forward to sunny, pleasant weather, with consistent temperature patterns and clear skies across the city.
