Mumbai wakes up to winter chill, AQI still 'poor'

India Dec 11, 2025

Mumbai started Thursday with a cool breeze and clear skies—definitely a change from the usual humidity.
The IMD says temperatures will swing between 15°C and 32°C today.
But even with the pleasant weather, air quality is still an issue: the city's AQI sits at 144, which counts as 'poor.'

Construction dust keeps AQI high, winter brings mixed feelings

While air quality has improved slightly since previous months, it's still not great—especially for people sensitive to pollution.
Experts point to ongoing construction projects like new metro lines and bridges as major sources of dust and fine particles.
The cooler weather is a welcome break for many Mumbaikars.
