According to the IMD’s extreme weather data, Mumbai’s highest maximum temperature for October during this period was recorded on October 17, 2015, when the mercury touched 38.6°C.
While October heat is not unusual in Mumbai, the city experienced its first post-monsoon heatwave within the first 10 days of this month. Experts have attributed the extreme temperatures to the early withdrawal of the monsoon and broader climatic conditions associated with El Nino, which have also contributed to a rainfall deficit. IMD Mumbai Director Bikram Singh said the maximum temperature in Mumbai is expected to gradually decrease from Tuesday, offering some relief from the prevailing heat.
