On Thursday, April 21, morning, parts of Mumbai received drizzle, however, by noon, temperatures were soaring yet again. According to the latest reports, Mumbai’s Santacruz observatory registered a maximum temperature of 38.9 degrees Celsius which was six degrees over normal.

This maximum temperature was the second-highest in 10 years and the highest since 2015. Based on accounts, in 24 hours, the temperature rose by five degrees Celsius in Mumbai. The day earlier, the day temperature was 34.3 degrees Celsius which was a degree over normal.

On the other hand, the India Meteorological Department’s (IMD) Colaba observatory registered trace rainfall and maximum temperature of 37.2 degrees Celsius, while the IMD’s Santacruz observatory registered no significant rain.

Many Mumbaikars took to Twitter to share glimpses of the drizzle, with narratives claiming that light rainfall was seen in areas such as MaladKandivali and Andheri.

IMD officials were quoted in reports elaborating on how the rising temperatures on Thursday were attributed to the passage of the western disturbance, clear skies and northerly winds which caused lower humidity levels and the late setting in of sea breeze.

On the other hand, the temperatures on Friday recorded at IMD Santacruz were similar to that of the day earlier at 38.9 degrees Celsius, similarly, that of IMD Colaba is at 37.2 degrees Celsius.
