Mumbai Records Highest October Temperature in 13 Years Amid Monsoon Withdrawal
Mumbai experienced an unusually early October heat spike, with Colaba recording a maximum temperature of 37.4°C, the highest since 2013 and 5.6°C above normal. The suburbs, including Santacruz, also saw elevated temperatures but closer to normal overnight lows. The India Meteorological Department attributed the heat to monsoon withdrawal and changing wind patterns delaying sea breeze onset. Hot, humid conditions are expected to continue for the next few days, with no rain forecast and moderate air quality reported.
