Meteorologists attribute this shift in weather to northerly winds that began influencing the coastal city on Sunday. The Regional Meteorological Centre in Colaba noted a minimum temperature of 18.8 degrees Celsius, signifying a sharp decline from the relatively warmer Monday, where temperatures hovered around 22 degrees Celsius.

Interestingly, the city experienced a similar dip in temperatures on January 6, marking the coldest day of the season at 17.5 degrees Celsius. However, this was followed by an unexpected surge in temperatures. On January 12, Mumbai recorded its warmest day in January in the past seven years, with the mercury soaring to 35.7 degrees Celsius.

Sushma Nair, a scientist at IMD Mumbai, shed light on the meteorological dynamics behind this fluctuation. “Last week, the city was reeling under high temperatures owing to the prominent southeasterly winds, which are moist in nature. However, since Sunday, we have had the northerly wind component, which is dry and cold, resulting in a noticeable drop in temperature,” she explained to Indian Express.
