Mumbai, India, forecast to reach 36°C amid strong sunshine

Temperatures to rise under strong sunshine for five days

From October 24 to October 28, mostly clear skies across India will allow strong sunshine to warm the land, while warm air will also contribute to rising temperatures. Warm air of +18°C or higher is spreading widely from the Arabian Sea at around 1,500 m, continuing to warm areas near the surface, and this pattern is expected to persist.

Outlook for major cities

Strong sunshine and warm air are expected to continue during this period. Mumbai is forecast to reach 36°C from the 24th to the 28th, with humidity ranging from 33% to 52%. Chennai is forecast to reach 31–33°C under weaker sunshine, Delhi 32°C, and Lucknow 31–32°C; none of these cities is expected to reach 35°C.

Limit outdoor activities during the day as much as possible. Drink fluids regularly and take measures to cope with the heat, such as keeping indoor spaces well ventilated.
