Mumbai woke up on Thursday to an unexpectedly crisp and pleasantly cool morning, offering residents a refreshing break from the city’s usual warm and humid climate. 

Early commuters were greeted by clear skies, light winds and a mild nip in the air — a combination that briefly made the city feel closer to winter than its typical coastal warmth. According to early readings, minimum temperatures dipped below 20 degrees Celsius during the pre-dawn hours, contributing to what many described as one of the season’s most comfortable mornings so far.
