<p>Daytime temperatures are likely to hover around 32 degrees Celsius, while the minimum temperature may settle near 23 degrees Celsius.</p>
<p>According to the SAMEER App, Mumbai&rsquo;s Air Quality Index (AQI) stood at 72 on March 19 morning, indicating satisfactory air quality.</p>
<h2>AQI across Mumbai</h2>
<p>Bandra Kurla Complex &ndash; 82<br />Borivali East &ndash; 91<br />Byculla &ndash; 77<br />Andheri East &ndash; 81<br />Chembur &ndash; 75<br />Colaba &ndash; 61<br />Deonar &ndash; 103<br />Ghatkopar &ndash; 100</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the IMD has issued an <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/maharashtra-weather-alert-imd-issues-orange-alert-for-14-districts-thunderstorms-and-hail-forecasted-23621450" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">orange alert for several districts across Maharashtra</a>, warning of thunderstorms and rain. Districts under alert include Jalgaon, Nashik, Ahilyanagar, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Jalna, Parbhani, and Beed.</p>
<h2>Heat persists despite rain alert</h2>
<p>Despite the warning, heat and humidity continue to grip the state, offering little relief to residents. According to the IMD&rsquo;s latest bulletin, large parts of Maharashtra are witnessing above-normal daytime temperatures, particularly in interior regions, while coastal areas remain relatively moderate.</p>
<h2>Interior regions record rising temperatures</h2>
<p>Districts such as Jalgaon (37.7 degrees Celsius), Osmanabad (36.8 degrees Celsius), Parbhani (36.2 degrees Celsius), Beed (36 degrees Celsius), and Malegaon (36 degrees Celsius) recorded some of the highest maximum temperatures, signalling intensifying heat across Marathwada and North Maharashtra. Night temperatures in these areas remained between 18 degrees Celsius and 22 degrees Celsius, providing limited respite.</p>
<h2>Central belt sees dry, warm conditions</h2>
<p>Ahilyanagar (35.2 degrees Celsius), Aurangabad (34.5 degrees Celsius), and Nashik (34.5 degrees Celsius) also recorded above-normal temperatures, reflecting dry and warm weather across central Maharashtra.</p>
<h2>Mixed weather in western Maharashtra</h2>
<p>Kolhapur (34.7 degrees Celsius) and Satara (35.2 degrees Celsius) experienced warm days, though cooler nights, particularly in Mahabaleshwar (16.6 degrees Celsius), offered some relief.</p>
<h2>Coastal regions remain humid but stable</h2>
<p>Mumbai, Alibag, Ratnagiri, and Dahanu recorded moderate temperatures ranging between 31 degrees Celsius and 33 degrees Celsius. However, high humidity levels, reaching up to 88 per cent in Dahanu and over 80 per cent in Mumbai, kept conditions warm and uncomfortable.</p>
<h2>Outlook</h2>
<p>The IMD indicates that while interior Maharashtra will continue to experience <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/mumbai-weather-update-imd-predicts-thundershowers-in-region-but-citys-climate-remains-warm-and-hazy-23621349" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">rising heat</a>, the Konkan coast will remain relatively stable but humid. Residents are advised to take precautions against heat exposure, especially during peak afternoon hours.</p>
