Mumbai residents were greeted by a bright and pleasant morning on Saturday, December 6, 2025, offering a welcome respite from recent air quality concerns. The city is set to experience a comfortably warm day with clear skies, perfect for weekend activities, though caution is still advised in high-traffic zones due to lingering pollution.
Today's Pleasant Weather Conditions
The maximum temperature in Mumbai is expected to reach a comfortable 30.4°C, while the minimum will settle around 24.1°C. The humidity level is moderate at 49%, preventing the air from feeling overly sticky. A gentle breeze blowing at approximately 16.2 km/h will add a refreshing touch throughout the day.
With dominant sunshine and zero chance of rain, today presents an excellent opportunity for various outdoor engagements. The evening is forecast to turn cool post-sunset, creating an ideal setting for relaxed strolls or social gatherings.
Air Quality Update and Health Advisories
This improvement in weather comes a day after the city recorded 'poor' air quality, with an Air Quality Index (AQI) reading of 158. The primary pollutants identified were PM2.5 and PM10, with concentrations measured at 78 and 100 micrograms per cubic meter, respectively. Carbon monoxide levels were also elevated at 280 micrograms per cubic meter.
Authorities attributed the spike to vehicular emissions and ongoing construction activities. While today's clear conditions may help disperse some pollutants, sensitive groups—such as those with respiratory issues—are advised to remain vigilant.
Key recommendations for residents include:
- Avoid prolonged exposure in high-traffic areas without a mask.
- Utilize the cool, sunny morning for walks or jogs.
- Keep sunglasses handy for the afternoon sun.
- Stay hydrated, especially when spending extended time outdoors.
Weekly Forecast: Warm and Dry Days Ahead
Looking at the week ahead, Mumbai is set for a stretch of consistently warm and dry weather. The forecast, based on data from AQI.in, indicates stable conditions with no significant changes or rainfall expected.
Daytime temperatures will hover between 29°C and 30°C, while nights will be cooler, with lows ranging from 22°C to 24°C. Steady winds will provide a comforting breeze daily. December 7 and 8 are expected to see slightly lower humidity, making them particularly suitable for outdoor plans. A slight dip in nighttime temperatures by mid-week will ensure pleasantly cool evenings, perfect for outings.
Positive Trend in Air Quality
While the current AQI of 158 remains in the 'poor' category, it marks a slight improvement from the 'very poor' levels witnessed earlier in the week. The anticipated run of clear, sunny weather over the coming days is expected to further aid in dispersing pollutants, potentially leading to better air quality and easier breathing for all Mumbaikars, especially those in sensitive groups.
