Record High Temperatures and Low Rainfall Fuel Heatwave Conditions in Mumbai

In Mumbai, temperature measurements have consistently risen to between 36°C and 38°C, triggering a heatwave alert for the coastal region. Interior districts, however, have not reached the 40°C mark required for a heatwave classification there. The prevailing eastern and south‑easterly winds have blocked the usual sea‑breeze moderation, and the lingering dryness is a direct consequence of the muted monsoon activity this year.
