Mumbaikars are experiencing the winter chill thanks to unseasonal rains and the cold wave from the north. On Sunday, the city recorded a temperature of 23.1 degrees Celsius, the lowest maximum temperature this decade. This was 8 degrees Celsius below normal. It is the second instance this month when the city recorded the lowest daytime temperature. IMD forecasts the morning temperature will dip further.
On Sunday morning, the Santacruz observatory of the India Meteorological Department (IMD) recorded a minimum temperature of 21 degrees Celsius, which was marginally higher than the earlier days. The temperature later rose only by 2 degrees. It is due to a combination of the cold wave from the north and unseasonal rainfall.
