The India Meteorological Department has issued a heatwave warning for the Mumbai region and Konkan, effective through October 12.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) announced today that a heatwave warning is in force for the Mumbai metropolitan area and the adjoining Konkan coast, and will remain active until October 12. The advisory follows a sustained rise in temperatures across western Maharashtra, with forecasts indicating daytime highs well above the normal range for this time of year.
Under the warning, the IMD advises residents to take precautions against heat‑related illnesses, stay hydrated, and limit exposure to direct sunlight during peak hours. Authorities are urged to ensure that public facilities such as hospitals, schools, and workplaces are prepared to manage potential health impacts.
Local officials in Mumbai and district administrations along the Konkan belt have been asked to monitor the situation closely, activate emergency response protocols if needed, and disseminate timely information through media and digital platforms to keep the public informed.
