After an unusually warm December, with minimum temperatures stubbornly refusing to fall below 18.9 degrees and highs staying well above normal, the city is finally set for a cool down. However, a change in wind direction is on the horizon, bringing colder days and nights to Mumbai and its suburbs. Dry and cool winds from the north and northeast will soon sweep across Rajasthan, Gujarat, Konkan and Goa, and eventually reach Maharashtra, including Mumbai. These invigorating gusts will play a key role in lowering both day and night temperatures in the city. Meteorologists predict that Mumbai's minimum temperatures could drop to as low as 17 or 18 degrees Celsius over the next week.
