Days after a heatwave warning was issued for parts of Maharashtra, including in Mumbai, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has issued a public advisory to combat the extreme heat conditions. 

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) had last week issued a yellow alert for Mumbai and its neighbours, forecasting temperatures will cross 40 degrees Celsius. According to the IMD, these conditions may persist until March 11 and are likely to recur in March and April.
