According to the Met department, Mumbai had recorded the season’s lowest minimum temperature last week, signalling the beginning of winter, but the mercury may not drop further due to the formation of the low-pressure area in the Arabian Sea.
However, the minimum temperature was recorded at 24.4 degrees Celsius today, 5.6 degrees Celsius above normal, in the suburbs.
