And that 33 degrees, you pulled that out from Wikipedia I guess. But you failed to notice that it's the average high temperature. Key word is average. It might go 2 or 3 degrees up some days and 2 or 3 degrees lower on other days.
One more thing, temperature in Mumbai is measured at two place. Colaba and Santacruz. Colaba temperature in summer is always about 1-2 degrees lower than Santacruz temperatures because of the sea breeze. But unless someone lives by the sea, it's the Santacruz temperature which really counts for them (although for official purposes it's the Colaba temerature that is considered).
Anyways, before you go on, please remember that my post was about power cuts and not about temperature and what adjectives we can or cannot use.
