Mumbai: Mumbai woke up to cloudy skies and light haze on Saturday morning after a spell of moderate showers the previous evening. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast partly cloudy skies with a possibility of moderate rain or thunderstorms later in the day, as the city continues to experience intermittent unseasonal rainfall.
Today's Weather Update
According to the IMD’s latest update, the maximum temperature in Mumbai is expected to hover around 33°C, while the minimum could drop to 24°C. The recent rainfall has brought temporary relief from the lingering heat and has also helped cleanse the air, leading to a significant improvement in the city’s air quality, which had deteriorated in recent weeks due to stagnant winds and rising pollution levels.
Air Quality Imporves To Good Category
Data from AQI.in on Saturday morning placed Mumbai’s overall Air Quality Index (AQI) at 50, categorised as good. This marks a sharp improvement from the unhealthy range recorded earlier in October. The improvement was visible across most parts of the city, with clearer skies, reduced haze and better visibility reported in several areas.
Among the city’s monitoring stations, Jogeshwari recorded the highest AQI at 63 (Moderate), followed by Worli (60), Kurla (57), Wadala Truck Terminal (57), and Parel-Bhoiwada (55). In contrast, areas such as Kandivali East (35), Deonar (40), Mumbai Airport (45), Colaba (45), and Sion (45) reported much cleaner air, all falling in the Good category.
As per AQI.in’s classification, AQI levels between 0–50 are considered “Good,” 51–100 “Moderate,” 101–150 “Poor,” 151–200 “Unhealthy,” and values above 200 range from “Severe” to “Hazardous.”
