January was 33.2c, making
it the hottest January for Mumbai in history beating the previous record of 32.9c, set in January 2009.
The normal Maximum average for Jan is 31.2°c.
The average minimum was 18.5°, while the normal should be 17.3°c.
So, comparatively, the nights were a shade better.
But the EastWinds were present only in the day, thus keeping the nights cooler.The coldest night was on 9th .at 13.7° c.
The overall night /day average this year ..which was 25.85°c....thus not very high
Normal average is 24.25°c
January saw a total decrease in western disturbances, which normally cools the city and Maharashtra.
The north winds were absent, and replaced by dry warm easterlies.
Easterly winds were a result of a persistent high pressure ( Anti Cyclone) over central India.
Such anti cyclones are usually shorrt lived in January..about 3/4 days.
