Mumbaikars are unlikely to get respite from the heat anytime soon as the city will continue to experience daily maximum and minimum temperature above normal till middle of next week.
According to India Meteorological Department’s (IMD) forecast, the city will continue to record daily maximum temperature of at least 34-35 degrees and night temperature of around 26 degrees along with hot and dry wind conditions for the next few days.
The IMD officials have said that the primary reason behind this is the wind pattern since dry wind is blowing above Mumbai.
“These are normal conditions but because of high humidity we are feeling hot during this part of the year,” said Sunil Kamble, head of IMD, Mumbai.
Kamble said that currently there is no forecast of pre-monsoon rains in Mumbai. However, a clear picture on monsoon landfall will be available after the monsoon makes its landfall in Kerala on first week of June.
“The monsoon is expected to begin in Kerala from first week of June, following which it is expected to move northwards. Tentatively we can say that rains will hit Mumbai around June 10-11, but a clearer forecast will be available on the last week of May,” he said.
