Mumbai Heat Wave

Mumbai and its neighbouring areas received heavy rains in the last 24 hours, bringing down the mercury and providing relief to residents from the hot and humid weather, officials said on Sunday.

The civic body in Mumbai has set up cold rooms and made heat stroke medicines available at its health facilities anticipating a searing summer, an official said on Friday.

At least 55 wildlife creatures including birds and reptiles, many of them suffering from dehydration, were rescued in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region in the last three days, an NGO claimed on Wednesday.

In the wake of severe heat wave conditions in Mumbai and neighbouring districts, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has appealed to citizens to stay safe and hydrated and avoid going out in the afternoon.

The Indian Metrological Department or IMD has issued a heatwave warning for Mumbai and its neighbouring regions, with temperatures expected to reach up to 40 degrees Celcius over the next couple of days.

The temperature in Mumbai soared over the 40 degree Celsius mark yesterday, recording the second highest temperature in March in a decade. The data released the by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) or weather department stated that the temperature in Mumbai reached as high as 41 degrees Celsius.

Nearly 70 people have died in the last week in Odisha and Telangana as a heat wave swept the country. It's the hottest April in five years, says the Met department, and predicts that it will get worse as the summer deepens.

If you were one of the many Mumbaikars complaining about the excessive heat yesterday, your ire was quite justified. Wednesday recorded the second highest temperature in the month of March over the past decade.

Temperatures dropped slightly today at most places across North India after Thursday's rains, even as hot and humid conditions persisted in the region.
