Weather - Mumbai
Mumbai has a tropical climate: hot year-round with a pronounced monsoon season. Daytime highs typically range from about 29–34 °C and nights from roughly 15–27 °C. The city is dry and sunny from November to April (best time for sightseeing and flights), very hot and humid in the pre-monsoon months (March–May), and then dominated by heavy monsoon rains from June to September—July being the wettest month. Sea temperatures stay warm (about 25–29 °C), so swimming is possible most of the year, but expect rough seas and frequent downpours during the monsoon.
