The weather department has attributed this to a low-pressure system that had developed in the Arabian Sea. Unexpected weather changes are happening in Maharashtra due to regular seasonal cycle bringing in very cold and unusual conditions.
The skies were overcast since the afternoon, leading to a rise in humidity in the middle of winter.
Besides, in a sigh of relief, light showers in the city also improved the air quality, making it easier for people to breathe.
From today, January 10, Mumbai and other cities in Maharashtra might witness a dip in the temperature, said IMD officials.
