Mumbai, November 13, 2026: As the winter season approaches, Mumbai has started experiencing dry and cooler weather, providing relief from the October heat, whose effects usually continue into November.

On Friday, the Santacruz observatory recorded a minimum temperature of 18.9°C, which was 2.7°C below normal. The maximum temperature was 35.3°C, which was 1.4°C below normal. Humidity was low at 62%.

Haze Expected During Morning Hours

As per the India Meteorological Department's local forecast for Mumbai city and suburbs for the next 24 hours, there will be haze during the morning hours and mainly clear skies towards the afternoon and evening. The maximum and minimum temperatures are expected to be around 35°C and 19°C, respectively.

Independent weather interpreter Rajesh Kapadia said, "As sea breeze is setting in earlier, the temperatures are falling. The current weather conditions will continue for the next couple of days and the day temperature is also likely to fall slightly. However, it won't be a longer winter feel."

Meanwhile, Mumbai's air quality index (AQI) settled at 111 on Friday, which falls in the moderate category.
