The city has been going through a warm October spell. Mirror Now reported that Mumbai touched 37.4 degrees a few days ago, with humidity above 78 percent.

The heat comes as the monsoon withdraws from Maharashtra.

Humidity levels remain higher than usual for October. This is adding to the discomfort during the afternoon.

October is usually a transition month for Mumbai. The city moves from the monsoon to drier, warmer days.

Commuters are advised to carry water and use sun protection during peak afternoon hours.
