    What's the story

    Mumbai sizzled on Monday as it recorded 38.7 degrees-C, a staggering 5.9 degrees above normal.

    Heat wave was also felt throughout the city, which worsened matters for locals.

    Temperature was 5 degrees above normal for the weekend as well: Sunday's temperature was 41 degrees while Saturday's hovered around 31-33 degrees.

    IMD predicts that this burning heat will continue for some time.

    Early summer?

    Reasons: strong easterly winds, delayed setting in of sea breeze

    Explaining the causes, IMD said strong easterly winds and delayed setting in of sea breeze have contributed to the high temperature.

    Moreover, a high pressure zone has been created over Rajasthan/Gujarat that is bringing dry and warm winds over Mumbai.

    IMD said that though the maximum temperature will dip from Monday evening, "but are likely to continue appreciably above normal during next 24 hours."
