Delhi, 2 December (H.S.):
Mumbai woke up to clear, sunny skies and comfortable temperatures on Tuesday, with the mercury hovering around 25.8°C and low humidity creating ideal conditions for outdoor activities. The day is expected to peak at 28.7°C, accompanied by a gentle breeze reaching speeds of up to 14.8 km/h, while nighttime temperatures will dip slightly to 23.2°C, bringing a refreshing coolness after 9 p.m.
Despite the pleasant weather, residents remain cautious following the previous day's poor air quality index (AQI) of 233, classified as 'poor' due to elevated particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10) and carbon monoxide levels. Sensitive groups were advised to exercise caution, especially during peak traffic hours, and wearing masks in congested areas was recommended.
Looking ahead, temperatures are expected to rise gradually through the week, with December 5 predicted to be the warmest day, reaching 31.1°C. Clear skies and cool nights will prevail, although a slight increase in humidity by December 6 and 7 may cause evening discomfort.
Overall, Tuesday’s climate offers a welcome reprieve with excellent conditions for outdoor pursuits, underscored by the need for continued vigilance against air pollution.
