Mumbai Faces Hazardous Air Quality Amid Rising Temperatures

The city's air quality has reached dangerous levels, prompting health advisories as temperatures soar above normal.

Mumbai's Air Quality Index (AQI) has reached 500, categorizing it as hazardous, with several areas reporting poor conditions.
Experts attribute the decline in air quality to a combination of dry conditions and damp winds carrying pollutants.
Residents are advised to limit outdoor activities, use masks, and employ air purifiers to mitigate health risks.
The city is experiencing temperatures 4 degrees Celsius above normal, contributing to a persistent haze.
Other Indian cities, such as Delhi and Noida, are also facing severe air quality issues, with AQI readings in the unhealthy range.
