Mumbai Weather: Clear Skies and Moderate AQI
Mumbai is basking in mostly clear skies today, March 17th, according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). Temperatures are slightly warmer than recent weeks, reaching a high of around 33°C with a low of 22°C. A light breeze and humidity around 47% add to the pleasant weather. But while the sun shines brightly, Mumbai's air quality needs a closer look.
Air Quality Update: A Mixed Bag
Mumbai's Air Quality Index (AQI) shows a mixed picture. While many areas report "Satisfactory" levels (between 51 and 100), several locations including Andheri East, Deonar and various others, register "Moderate" (101-200) or even "Poor" AQI readings according to various sources. It’s essential for those with respiratory issues to be mindful and take precautions, including limiting outdoor activities and wearing masks, particularly in areas with higher AQI levels. The CPCB's SAMEER app provides detailed AQI readings for various locations across the city.
Looking Ahead: More Sunny Days
The IMD predicts predominantly clear skies will continue into Tuesday, March 18th, with temperatures ranging from 23°C to 32°C. However, a partly cloudy sky is expected in the afternoon and evening on Monday. While the week is predicted to remain warm, with potential for highs reaching 35°C, it’s advisable to stay updated on the latest forecasts from the IMD for the most accurate information. Check the SAMEER app for real-time AQI updates in your area.
Stay Informed and Stay Safe
Remember to stay informed about both the weather and AQI forecasts to make informed decisions about your day. Protecting your health is key, especially if you are sensitive to air quality changes. Regular monitoring of the IMD and CPCB's SAMEER app will allow you to best plan your day and activities.
