IMD Predicts Comfortable Weather for Mumbai
Mumbai is set to experience pleasant weather conditions with partly cloudy skies and comfortable temperatures, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). The financial capital, known for its humid climate, will see a marginal dip in temperatures due to northern winds affecting various parts of the country.
The IMD has forecast that the city will witness a minimum temperature of 22°C and a maximum of 31°C on January 30, 2025. As the weekend approaches, Mumbaikars can expect a steady northwesterly breeze at approximately 14 km/h, keeping the air relatively fresh. Humidity levels will hover around 44%, ensuring a comfortable atmosphere for residents and visitors alike.
Air Quality Sees a Positive Shift
One of the most notable developments is the improvement in Mumbai’s air quality. The Air Quality Index (AQI) is projected to be around 72, a significant enhancement compared to the deteriorating levels seen in recent months. This falls within the “satisfactory” category, implying that air pollution is at a manageable level for most individuals. However, health experts caution that those with respiratory issues should remain vigilant, as even moderate pollution levels can trigger discomfort in sensitive groups. The improvement in air quality can be attributed to favourable wind patterns and reduced atmospheric pollutants. In contrast, several northern cities, including Delhi-NCR, continue to experience the effects of cold waves and elevated pollution levels. The interplay of northern winds has contributed to the slight temperature drop in Mumbai, offering respite from the otherwise warm conditions.
Weather Outlook for January 31
Looking ahead, Mumbai is expected to witness a sunny day on Friday, January 31, 2025. The temperature range will remain steady, with a minimum of 22°C and a maximum of 30°C. A slight increase in humidity to 47% is anticipated, accompanied by a moderate northeasterly breeze at 16 km/h. The overall forecast indicates a period of stable and comfortable weather, making it an opportune time for outdoor activities and travel. With improved air quality and a soothing climate, Mumbai residents can look forward to an enjoyable end to the month.
