According to the latest Mumbai weather updates by the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), the maximum temperature will likely be around 34 degrees Celsius
Meanwhile, the minimum temperature is likely to be around 26 degrees Celsius. The relative humidity is 82 per cent and the wind speed is 82 km/h. The sun rose at 06:30 AM and will set at 06:20 PM
IMD's latest Mumbai weather updates forecasted a "mainly clear sky becoming partly cloudy towards evening/night. Possibility of drizzle in the city and its suburbs" for the city and suburbs for the next 24 hours
On Wednesday (October 9), the Central Pollution Control Board's SAMEER app, in its latest Mumbai weather updates, said the city's air quality dipped to the 'good' category with an Air Quality Index (AQI) of 99 at 9:05 a.m
Unlike its streak so far, many areas across Mumbai—per the SAMEER app dashboard—showed 'moderate' AQI. However, Shivaji Nagar's AQI had slipped further into the 'poor' category, at 203
Meanwhile, Byculla and Chembur recorded 'moderate' air quality, with an AQI of 121 and 103, respectively. Colaba recorded 'good' air quality, with an AQI of 70. Borivali recorded an AQI of 95
Navi Mumbai, according to data collated by the SAMEER app, which had been recording 'good' air quality also slipped to 'moderate' with an AQI of 133. Meanwhile, Thane too recorded a 'moderate' AQI of 119
The air quality index from 0 to 100 is considered 'good', 100 to 200 'moderate', 200 to 300 'poor', 300 to 400 'very poor' and from 400 to 500 or above 'severe'
Meanwhile, as air pollution levels continue to rise in Mumbai, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has revised guidelines issued last year for construction sites
