10th March 2026...Evening Post
Mumbai Santacruz touches 40.0°c (+7.6°) today ! But 19th Hottest in India.
No panic situation....not unusual...reason 👇
1. As Mumbai saw a Low of 21.6°c, making aMax/Min range of 18.4°c...and getting the day's average feel temperature of 30.3°c.
2. There have been several previous March touching 40°...The earliest 40°was on 3rd March 1981, then on 16th in 2007, on the 7th in 2013, 26th in 2015, 26th in 2018, 2019 and 28th in 2021.
The reason for this year's 8 day hot spell is the "Anti Cyclone" or High Pressure over North Gujarat. This system delayed the onset of the sea breeze over Mumbai.
We see a Trough in Central India off setting the High Pressure and advancing NW winds over Mumbai by Friday 13th March. Days will stabilise in Mumbai to around 35°c from the 13th March.
Jalgaon Range:Max.40.3° [< 25 °>] Min. 15.3°
