“Mumbai Records Its Lowest Temperature in 9 Years, Reaches 13.7°C

Mumbai has recorded a sharp temperature drop, with the city registering a low of 13.7°C, its coldest temperature in nine years. This sudden cold spell follows just days after the city experienced its hottest December day in 13 years. On December 4, Mumbai reached a sweltering 37.3°C, setting a new record for the month.

The unusual temperature fluctuations have caught the attention of meteorologists, who attribute the dip in temperature to a combination of factors, including changes in wind patterns and clear skies, which allowed for rapid cooling during the night. The cold weather has brought some relief after a particularly hot start to December, and residents of Mumbai are experiencing a stark contrast in temperatures.

The 13.7°C recorded in Mumbai is a significant deviation from the city's typical December weather, which usually hovers around 20°C to 25°C. This sharp change has affected daily life, with many residents bundling up in warmer clothing and tourists adjusting their plans to suit the cooler conditions.

Meteorologists are closely monitoring the situation, though the temperature is expected to rise gradually over the coming days. The shift in temperatures serves as a reminder of the increasingly erratic weather patterns being observed across India, with extreme highs and lows occurring more frequently due to climate change.
