Mumbai is witnessing a sharp rise in day temperatures as delayed sea breeze activity pushes the mercury higher than usual.

Normally, the afternoon sea breeze helps cool the city, but weaker and late onset winds are allowing heat to build up.

Maximum temperatures have climbed into the mid-30s°C, with some suburbs recording above-normal readings for this time of the season.

Clear skies and strong solar heating are further adding to the discomfort. Humidity levels remain moderate, making afternoons feel warmer.

Weather experts indicate that until the sea breeze strengthens and sets in on time, temperatures may continue to stay elevated.

Mumbaikars are advised to remain hydrated and avoid prolonged outdoor exposure during peak afternoon hours.
