Mumbai residents experienced a welcome shift in weather conditions on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, as bright sunshine replaced concerns over air quality. The day offered ideal conditions for outdoor plans, marking a contrast to the previous day's polluted atmosphere.
Today's Weather: A Perfect Day for Outdoor Plans
The city woke up to a refreshing sunrise at 6:56 AM. The maximum temperature for the day was recorded at 25.8°C, with an afternoon high reaching 28.7°C. The night is expected to be cool, with temperatures dipping to around 23.2°C after 9 PM.
Humidity levels remained comfortably low at 44%, and the forecast indicated zero chance of rain, ensuring clear skies. A gentle breeze with wind speeds peaking at 14.8 km/h added to the pleasant conditions. Experts suggested the day was excellent for activities like morning jogs or evening strolls along the beach, though sunscreen and sunglasses were recommended for the sunny afternoon.
Air Quality Alert: Lingering Effects of Poor AQI
Despite the beautiful weather, a shadow was cast by the air quality data from Monday, December 1. The city's Air Quality Index (AQI) was recorded at 233, which falls into the 'poor' category. This was one of the highest readings for the month, highlighting ongoing environmental concerns.
The primary pollutants driving this poor air quality were:
- PM2.5 at 107 µg/m³
- PM10 at 133 µg/m³
- Carbon Monoxide (CO) levels at 330 µg/m³
Such conditions are known to cause minor breathing discomfort, especially for sensitive groups like children, the elderly, and those with respiratory issues. Authorities advised that while Tuesday's sunny and dry weather might help disperse some pollutants, the lingering effects could still be felt, particularly in high-traffic zones. Carrying a mask in these areas was considered a wise precaution.
Weekly Outlook: Gradual Warming with Clear Skies
The forecast for the rest of the week indicates a steady climb in temperatures across Mumbai. Friday, December 5, is expected to be the warmest day, with the mercury likely to touch 31.1°C.
Nights will continue to be cool and pleasant, with temperatures ranging between 23°C and 25°C. The skies are predicted to remain clear throughout the week with no rainfall expected. A slight increase in humidity is anticipated on December 6 and 7, which may make the evenings feel a bit more humid.
For citizens planning their schedules, December 4 and 5 are identified as the best days for outdoor activities, offering a combination of sunshine and comfortable temperatures. The consistent pleasant weather provides a good balance, though staying hydrated is recommended.
