According to reports, Mumbai’s Air Quality Index (AQI) recently dropped to 47, a “Good” category reading. Experts say the clear skies were the result of light rains, cloudy weather, and gentle winds that helped reduce dust and pollution in the air.

The post shared yesterday pulled many views from social media users. "Oh wow! Look at that camera zoom! Freaky !! 22 km. I can’t imagine my iPhone giving that kind of result. This is an amazing pic. Thanks for sharing," a user wrote. "That’s unbelievable! Amazing stuff," a second user wrote. "Wah Taj, Mumbai Jaan," wrote a third user.

"Nothing unbelievable.. Every year, it is common for visibility to increase to 50-60km when you have active weather system, like low pressure in the Arabian Sea and monsoon system synoptic conditions between May to November.. And social media always gets flooded. But people have short memories, so every time they feel as if something new happened," added a fourth user.
