A change in air pressure and cyclonic activity above Maharashtra has blocked cold northern winds, preventing any chilling effect from reaching the state, according to meteorologists. According to Manikrao Khule, a former officer in the Meteorological Department, this phenomena has caused a rise in the city's temperature.
It is anticipated that the city will have a moderate air quality index (AQI) of 134. Although this level is not dangerous, people who have respiratory issues need to take the appropriate safety measures.
Mumbai's temperature is expected to rise even more on February 24, reaching a minimum of 25 degrees Celsius and a maximum of 36 degrees, according to the IMD. While the wind speed is predicted to slightly increase to 21 km/h from the north, the humidity is expected to stay at about 28%.
