Mumbai Struck by Early Heatwave, Yellow Alert Provided
Mumbai experienced an unseasonably heat spike on Wednesday, motivating a yellow alert.
- Santacruz recorded a maximum of 38 7 ° C, virtually 6 degrees over normal.
- Colaba reached 35 7 ° C, 4 5 degrees above standard.
- Akola registered the state’s greatest temperature at 39 3 ° C.
The India Meteorological Division (IMD) associates the early heat to eastern winds and an anticyclonic blood circulation. This notes the earliest temperature level rise in March in a decade. While Mumbai is presently clear, Thane, Palghar, and Raigad remain under a yellow alert.
