The India Meteorological Department (IMD) declared a heat wave in Mumbai on Saturday, as temperatures in the city soared.

The IMD declares a heatwave over a coastal city when two weather stations record more than 37 degrees of daily maximum temperature on the same day.

For areas in the plains to be declared as facing a heat wave, the maximum temperature should reach 40 degrees, while for hilly regions, the maximum needs to be 30 degrees or more.

Mumbai has already crossed the 39 degree mark on March 8, when it hit 39.3 degrees Celsius.

As per SAFAR (System of Air Quality and Weather Forecasting And Research), Mumbai’s AQI was at 215 as of 9 am on Saturday, putting it in the ‘poor’ category. The PM2.5 and PM10 levels stood at 215 and 152 units, respectively.
