Mumbai continued to face hot and humid conditions on November 10, with the India Meteorological Department forecasting mainly clear skies and no rain for the city and its suburbs. The city’s overall Air Quality Index was reported at 147, placing it in the moderate category, while Deonar and Malad recorded readings in the poor category, according to figures cited from the Central Pollution Control Board’s SAMEER app by Mid-Day.
The weather observations for November 9 showed Santacruz recording a minimum temperature of 20.7 degrees Celsius and a maximum of 36.1 degrees Celsius. Neither the Colaba nor Santacruz weather stations recorded rainfall. The IMD forecast indicated that mainly clear skies would continue over Mumbai and its suburbs, with no rain warning issued for the city in the supplied report.
The combination of high daytime temperatures and humidity continued to make conditions uncomfortable for residents. The reported maximum at Santacruz was lower than the previous day’s level, but the weather remained warm across the city. The available report does not provide a citywide heat warning or any further advisory beyond the clear-sky forecast.
Air quality varied sharply between monitoring locations. Deonar recorded an AQI of 222, the highest reading listed in the report, while Malad recorded 218. Both readings fall in the poor category under India’s national AQI classification. The Bandra Kurla Complex recorded 191, Kandivali 190, Chembur 169 and Andheri 165, placing these locations in the moderate category.
Under the national AQI classification cited in the report, readings from 51 to 100 are considered satisfactory, while readings from 101 to 200 fall in the moderate category. Readings above 200 enter the poor category. On that basis, the citywide figure of 147 would indicate moderate air quality, but the location-level readings show that residents in some parts of Mumbai were experiencing considerably worse conditions than the overall number suggests.
Air quality across the wider Mumbai Metropolitan Region was also reported in the moderate category. Thane recorded an AQI of 138, Navi Mumbai 130 and Kalyan 154. These figures indicate variation across the region, although all three remained within the moderate band under the classification cited by the report.
The supplied report contains an inconsistency that requires clarification before the overall AQI is treated as confirmed: it repeatedly gives Mumbai’s citywide reading as 147 but refers to 171 in one passage. Both figures fall within the moderate category, but the discrepancy affects the precise reading. The report attributes the data to the CPCB’s SAMEER app; the underlying entry should be checked against the official monitoring record. The IMD forecast for mainly clear skies and no rain remains the stated weather outlook for Mumbai and its suburbs.
