Mumbai Faces Heatwave Alert as Temperatures Near 38°C

Mumbai was expected to have a very hot and humid day on Friday, October 9.

The sky was expected to stay mostly clear.

The temperature had reached 29°C in the morning and could rise to about 38°C.

The weather department warned that some parts of Mumbai and Raigad could experience a heatwave.

This was the first heatwave warning of the post-monsoon season.

Thane and Palghar were also forecast to have hot and humid conditions in some places.

Mumbai's air quality reading was 153.

The report says that number falls in the unhealthy range.

People could therefore face heat, humidity, and polluted air on the same day.
