The Indian Meteorological Department forecasts that Mumbai will experience hot conditions today, with temperatures expected to reach 35 degrees Celsius.
The Indian Meteorological Department issued a weather advisory for Mumbai, indicating that the city will face hot conditions today with temperatures projected to hit 35°C. The forecast covers the entire metropolitan area, including the suburbs, and is based on data from the latest satellite and ground observations.
Officials have urged residents to stay hydrated, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, and limit outdoor activities during peak heat hours. Public health agencies are also monitoring vulnerable groups such as the elderly and children, recommending that they remain in cool environments.
Mumbai’s humidity levels, which typically remain high during the summer months, are expected to compound the perceived heat, making the day feel even hotter. The city has experienced similar temperature spikes in recent years, prompting authorities to activate heat‑wave response protocols.
The department will continue to update the public with hourly temperature readings and any changes to the advisory. Citizens are advised to follow official channels for the latest information.
