Mumbai Faces Persistent Smog as Temperatures Rise and AQI Remains Poor
Mumbai is experiencing persistent smog and poor air quality, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) recorded at 135 on Wednesday and rising to 173 on Thursday, both classified as Poor. The India Meteorological Department forecasts generally clear skies with morning mist or fog, maximum temperatures reaching 34-36°C, and minimum temperatures dropping to 18-20°C, potentially offering some early morning relief.
