Air Quality Improvement and Area-Wise Analysis
Mumbai's air quality has improved significantly, registering in the 'good' category with an overall AQI of 62-95 as of November 4 morning, a substantial improvement from the week's earlier levels. The brief spell of rain helped cool the city and contributed to noticeable air quality enhancement across most monitoring stations throughout the metropolitan region. Colaba recorded excellent AQI at 29, while Mazgaon showed 39, Borivali 79, Bhandup 43, and Mulund 71, all within the 'good' range, indicating widespread improvement. Central areas, including Powai (51), Andheri (51), and Byculla (37), also maintained healthy air quality levels. Only Sewri recorded 'moderate' air quality with AQI 124, showing localized pollution near industrial zones. Neighboring Navi Mumbai registered AQI 54 (good), while Thane showed 60 (good), indicating widespread improvement across the entire metropolitan region.
Mumbai: Rainfall Pattern and Weekly Forecast
The unseasonal November rainfall stemmed from a deep depression over the Arabian Sea combined with upper air cyclonic circulations, which triggered heavy downpours across the Konkan and Maharashtra regions. The system has weakened significantly and will become insignificant within 24 hours, leading to gradually reducing rainfall from November 5 onwards. The weekly weather forecast shows partly cloudy conditions from November 5-6 with maximum temperatures around 30-31°C, transitioning to predominantly clear skies from November 7-10. This month will be cooler than previous Novembers due to the La Niña effect, which triggers low-pressure systems and prevents typical heating patterns across the Indian Ocean. Nighttime temperatures will remain relatively warm with minimums around 23-25°C through mid-November before cooling gradually intensifies as winter progresses.
