In what ushered a significant relief for citizens after a heatwave between March 9 and 12, temperatures saw a stark dip in the previous week with the maximum temperatures oscillating between 32 and 33 degrees over the weekend. On Monday, the Santacruz observatory recorded a maximum temperature of 33 degrees–which is 0.2 degree below the normal–while the Colaba coastal observatory logged 32.7 degrees on the mercury scales. The minimum temperatures, meanwhile, touched 23.8 degrees in the suburbs and 24.9 degrees in the island city division on Monday morning — remaining over one degree above the normal.
