Mumbai has a temperate climate throughout the year, with three primary seasons; winter, summer and the monsoon.

Winter in Mumbai

This is probably the best time to visit the city, as it is less crowded and the weather is much cooler and more pleasant. During December and January, daytime temperatures are around 25°C, but they drop by about 10°C at night.

Summer in Mumbai

The weather is at its hottest between May and June, especially in the afternoons. Many shops shut down for a siesta due to the heat and begin to open up again around 18:00. Daytime temperatures can reach 35°C and there are usually a few cases of heat stroke during this period. Visitors are advised to drink lots of water to prevent dehydration, to apply sun block and to avoid the midday sun.

Monsoon in Mumbai
June to August is when it rains quite heavily in the region, causing occasional flooding in certain parts. The rains are at their heaviest at the end of August, but the climate is pleasant, as the rains cool down the area.
