Mumbai’s Air Quality Index (AQI) has climbed to 266, placing it in the ‘unhealthy’ category, as the city grapples with rising temperatures and humidity. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a heat and humidity alert, forecasting temperatures to range between 24°C and 37°C.

In addition to the weather concerns, more than 3,800 reports of problems with Instagram were logged on Downdetector, indicating a widespread outage affecting users across multiple regions. Many reported difficulties accessing Instagram’s direct messaging feature, prompting users to turn to other social media platforms to confirm the outage.

Neither Instagram nor its parent company Meta has provided a detailed statement regarding the outage, leaving many users frustrated and seeking answers. The exact cause of the Instagram outage is unclear, and details remain unconfirmed.

This situation comes as Mumbai has been experiencing unusually warm conditions for early March, raising concerns about public health and safety. As the city navigates these challenges, residents are advised to take precautions against the heat and monitor air quality levels.

Observers are keenly watching how both the weather conditions and the Instagram outage will evolve, with many hoping for a swift resolution to the social media issues. The full scale and duration of the Instagram issue remain unclear, adding to the uncertainty for users reliant on the platform for communication.
