Mumbai experienced a significant drop in daytime temperatures on Wednesday, with the Santacruz station recording 34.2°C, nearly 6°C lower than the previous day's highs. This relief is attributed to an early sea breeze and weaker easterly winds, alongside a shift in a persistent anticyclone. Despite the dip, minimum temperatures remained above normal.

Mumbai braces for another heatwave as the India Meteorological Department issued a warning for Friday and Saturday, following three days of intense heat earlier this month. While Thursday offered a brief respite, temperatures are expected to rise again across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Coastal-interior transition zones are particularly affected by high 'real feel' temperatures.

After a day of light rain, weather in city was pleasant once again on Sunday as both day and night temperatures recorded by the imd colaba and Santacruz observatory stayed on the lower side. In the 24 hours ending 8.30am on Sunday morning, rainfall recorded by the imd colaba observatory was 0.8mm while the IMD Santacruz observatory recorded rains of 4.1mm.

Mumbai experienced hotter weather with temperatures rising nearly one degree above normal as westerly winds weakened after the end of the monsoon season. Day temperatures were 32.8 and 33.5 degrees at Colaba and Santacruz observatories. The humidity levels were also high. The monsoon months ended with above-normal rainfall levels recorded.

Day temperatures in Mumbai which crossed over 39 degrees last week steeply dipped on Sunday. The entire last week saw many days recording high maximum temperatures with IMD even having issued heat wave warnings.

Mumbai and surrounding areas experienced heavy rainfall over the weekend, with Thane recording significant amounts. An IMD yellow alert was issued for Mumbai, Thane, and Palghar for Monday. Santacruz and Colaba observatories recorded 96.8mm and 57mm rainfall, respectively, while Thane received 144mm. Temperatures remained slightly below normal despite the wet weekend.
