Cloudy weather in Mumbai for the last two to three days and winds coming from the east helped to carry the pollutants in the air. Hence, Mumbai's air quality has improved considerably in the past few days.
However, the air quality in Mumbai again deteriorated on Thursday with 'bad' air quality recorded in Colaba and Kandivali, while air in other areas was also recorded in the 'moderate' category.
After Mumbaikars experienced 'bad' air throughout the month of November, the air quality improved slightly in early December. However, after the effects of Cyclone Fengal on Mumbai ended, now it is being pointed out that Mumbai's air is getting polluted again.
