As per weathermen, on January 7 and 8,Mumbaiobserved a very cool night as the minimum temperature dropped to 14°C, which was over 5°C below normal. The reason for the significant drop in temperature can be attributed to the continuous flow of cool northerly winds.

These inland winds are traveling from Madhya Pradesh where the temperatures are already settling very low. In fact, in many places, the minimums are in single digit. Not only this, these chilly winds have also led to a slight drop in the maximum temperatures over Mumbai. The day temperature settled at 31.4 degrees in the past day.
