The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted that Mumbai’s minimum temperature will witness a dip over the weekend. According to the IMD and independent meteorologists, cool northern winds heading from the Himalayas towards the western parts of the country are responsible for the chill.
The temperature in Mumbai and adjoining areas has already dropped below 20 degrees Celsius. The Santacruz observatory, which covers suburban Mumbai, registered a temperature of 16.3 degrees Celsius on Thursday. The Colaba observatory recorded 19.4 degrees Celsius during the same period.
