Mumbai, on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, is forecast to experience a calm, largely dry day with partly cloudy skies and comfortable winter warmth, with temperatures ranging from 22.6°C to 25.4°C, presenting a straightforward forecast for commuters and outdoor plans, despite yesterday’s “very poor” air quality which is expected to linger, necessitating mask use near busy roads; the week ahead promises sunnier, warmer, and dry conditions with rising temperatures, though air quality remains a concern, particularly on hotter days.The day begins on a calm, largely dry note.Partly cloudy skies are expected, with comfortable winter warmth building through the day.Temperatures will hover between 22.6°C and 25.4°C.No rain is expected, making it a straightforward forecast for commuters and outdoor plans.Yesterday’s air quality was in the “very poor” range.This condition can linger into today.It is a decent morning to step out, but carrying a mask is advised if spending time near busy roads.Mumbai’s weather today is more “easygoing coastal winter“ than anything dramatic.The high temperature is 25.4°C, with a low of 22.6°C.This keeps the day warm but not sticky by city standards.Humidity sits around 72% on average.This may make the air feel a touch heavier in the afternoon, especially in crowded areas.Winds will pick up enough to be noticeable.A top speed near 20.2 kmph is expected.This offers some ventilation but is not strong enough to significantly flush pollution on its own.Visibility is forecast at around 10 km.The rain gauge looks clean, indicating 0 mm precipitation.There is a 0% chance of rain.As for how the day “shifts” hour by hour, the broad pattern is consistent.A pleasant, mild morning is expected after sunrise at 7:14 AM.A slightly warmer mid-day will occur under broken cloud.A comfortable evening is anticipated as temperatures ease after sunset at 6:28 PM.For outdoor exercise, the early morning window should feel easiest.However, the cooler air should not lead to skipping pollution precautions.
Air Quality Details
Yesterday stayed firmly in “very poor” territory.On Monday, January 26, Mumbai recorded an AQI (India) of 290.This placed it in Category 4: Very Poor.The US AQI was 210, also indicating unhealthy air.The key culprits were particle pollution.PM2.5 was measured at 132.PM10 was measured at 158.These levels typically cause throat and eye irritation.They can also cause heavier breathing during exertion.Flare-ups for people with asthma, allergies, or heart and lung conditions are also common at these levels.Carbon monoxide (CO) was also present at 275.This reinforces the “traffic-and-combustion” signature that’s common in dense urban corridors.Today’s dry, partly cloudy day with moderate winds can prevent pollution from spiking as sharply as on still days.However, without rain to wash particles out, air quality may remain a concern.This is especially true during peak traffic hours.
Practical Advice
The weather makes it tempting to pack in errands and outdoor time.It is advisable to be smart about timing.Morning and late evening are usually more comfortable temperature-wise.If sensitive to pollution, avoid heavy exertion near arterial roads during rush hour.A well-fitted mask is still a practical choice for two-wheeler riders.It is also recommended for walkers near traffic and anyone commuting long distances.With the sun peeking through clouds, sunglasses and light cottons will do fine.Hydration matters even in milder heat.If indoors, a closed-window, filtered-air setup can make a noticeable difference on very poor AQI days.
Week Ahead Outlook
The outlook through early February is dominated by clear, sunny weather.Rising daytime temperatures are expected, with no rain indicated.After today’s partly cloudy conditions, Wednesday, January 28, turns sunny.Wednesday will feature a higher 26.9°C and a cooler 20.6°C low.The warm-up continues on Thursday, January 29.This day is likely the hottest stretch in this run, at around 29°C.Temperatures will then settle near 27–29°C into the weekend.A couple of days will bring a little cloud back.Friday, January 31, trends partly cloudy.The bigger pattern is steady: dry skies, comfortable nights, and warmer afternoons.For outdoor plans, Wednesday and Thursday look excellent for daylight activities.Pollution precautions should still be factored in.If air quality stays elevated, the best “caution days” are the hottest, sunniest ones.Local pollution can feel harsher during mid-day travel on these days.Data referenced in this article is taken from AQI.in.
