Mumbai residents endured intense heat and heavy rain this year, leaving them longing for cooler weather. Despite the humidity, the desired chill remained elusive until recently. Currently, a comfortable atmosphere has settled over the city.

“The cold weather has started early this year. Northerly winds are responsible for this. Now the temperature is expected to drop further by November 28-29. After that the temperature will increase. But the weather will remain cold,” Sushma Nair, Scientist at the India Meteorological Department, Mumbai, said.

Earlier, on November 19, 1950, the city recorded the highest minimum temperature for November, reaching 13.3 degrees Celsius.
