Mumbai is expected to experience hot and humid weather on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, and the daytime temperature will be around 35°C. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted dry conditions in Mumbai, Thane and Palghar for the next 24 hours, but it’s not going to help us out much in the warm weather. Residents will see hazy conditions in the morning but mostly clear skies later in the day. The city will continue to experience warm daytime temperatures as October comes to a close.
According to the latest weather update published by Mid-day, Mumbai's overall Air Quality Index (AQI) was 92 on Wednesday morning. By India's national air quality classification, it is in the satisfactory category.
The readings at several monitoring stations in the city indicate a moderate pollution level and that air quality can vary across the city. Residents, particularly those who are sensitive to air pollution, should check local readings when planning extended outdoor activities.
Mumbai Weather Today: Temperature and Sky Conditions
The IMD’s Mumbai-Colaba forecast for October 28 listed a maximum temperature of 36°C and a minimum of 25°C in its local weather report. Its forecast for the day was 27°C to 35°C, with morning fog or mist and mostly clear skies later in the day. There was no weather warning for the day. The figures can differ depending on the monitoring station and whether the reading is an observation or a forecast.
In the long run, people who are going to work, school and other outdoor places (in the afternoon) will face a lot of heat at midday and in the afternoon. Even without rain, the heat of the day is going to make outdoor life uncomfortable, and it is not just because it is too hot when you put on your jacket, but because of the humidity and heat in the city. People are going outside to work too much, and that is where you’re going to get it to get hotter.
Dry forecasts also mean commuters are unlikely to need rain protection for most outdoor trips in the forecast period. Weather conditions can change on a daily basis, and long-distance travel or outdoor events should also be accompanied by the latest IMD updates before heading out. A dry forecast should not be taken as a guarantee that conditions will remain constant throughout the day.
Mumbai AQI Update: Overall Reading at 92
Mumbai's AQI of 92 places the city's overall air quality in the satisfactory category under India's national classification. But the moderate pollution readings at some monitoring stations indicate that pollution levels are not uniform throughout the metropolitan region. Traffic density, construction activity and local emissions can cause pollution in different areas, but the reported readings alone do not indicate the source of pollution at each location.
People with asthma or other respiratory sensitivities may wish to monitor the AQI in their neighbourhood and adjust outdoor activities if local conditions deteriorate. Drivers can also prevent themselves from being subjected to traffic in the city by taking less congested routes where possible. Anyone who is having difficulty breathing should seek medical attention.
Weather Outlook for Mumbai and Nearby Areas
The IMD's forecast indicates that dry weather is expected to continue across Mumbai, Thane and Palghar over the next 24 hours from the October 28 update. Mumbai’s weather forecast on October 29 indicates a possible one or two spells of rain or thundershowers with a maximum temperature of around 33°C. The outlook on October 30 is mainly clear skies and a maximum temperature of around 33°C. Residents should be following updated forecasts as they can change.
As a daily commuter, the immediate priority is to prepare for warm daytime weather and to spend some time outdoors in the afternoon if possible. People travelling by local trains, buses, taxis or two-wheelers should carry drinking water and take breaks in shaded areas if they spend long periods outside. The staff working outdoors should be mindful of the heat in the morning and at evening work.
The current forecast does not indicate a major weather warning for Mumbai on October 28. But given the high daytime temperatures and local air quality, it is sensible for residents to keep track of weather and pollution levels. Checking official updates before traveling or organising outdoor activities can help people plan their day more comfortably.
Mumbai is expected to have another warm and dry day with temperatures around 35°C and the city's overall AQI recorded at 92 on Wednesday morning. Rain is not expected to provide immediate relief during the main forecast period, but the possibility of showers in the next forecast means residents should keep track of the IMD updates.
