Drizzle Short-Lived, Mumbaikars Reel In Scorching Heat Again
by Suraj V. Digital Marketing (sr. SEO Expert)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 Malad, Kandivali 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.
