Mumbai, as warned, continues on its heating spree, unabated...

(San. =SantaCruz)

Reason..East winds preventing the cooler sea breeze in the daytime

And the most unusual temperature reading at Shimla..both day and night 11c above normal..!So the the maximum normally should be what the minimum is👀

What a way to end the year  !.....Its Mumbai...Mumbai has the dubious distinction of being the HOTTEST CITY IN ASIA on 31st December...

Mumbai Santa Cruz was 37.3c, along with Ratnagiri also at 37.3c. However the Hottest ever December day was in 1987, when on  4th December, it touched 39.8c...Wow...Thats a bit too much to bear !!
