The first half of March saw above-normal temperatures, with the highest recorded at 39.2°C on March 11.Though the sea breeze usually helps cool down the city, a change in wind patterns will delay its arrival, causing temperatures to soar.

After the anticipated "cooler break", temperatures are expected to rise again from March 22.

Mumbai can brace for another round of hot and humid weather soon.

March 23, the mercury could cross 36°C, making the city feel hotter than usual. However, it’s unlikely that the temperature will exceed 40°C this March.

With the upcoming change in weather conditions, a hot and sultry week ahead, especially if you live along the Konkan coast.
