Weather in Mumbai

Temperatures in Mumbai remain rather steady throughout the year, although humidity and precipitation do fluctuate. Daily highs average between 29 and 33°C, although they have been known to climb much higher. Humidity peaks in late August to September, so packing light cotton-based clothing is a good idea. The rainy season is from June to September, making packing rain gear a must.

When to Go to Mumbai

The majority of visitors to Mumbai arrive after the rainy season, in October. You might have trouble finding rooms or decent flight fares on travel due to high demand at this time. If the weather does not bother you, plan a trip in the humid months of August and September when hotels are significantly lower, and don’t forget to check with ebookers for deals. If you arrive at this time, plan to experience the Ganesh Chaturthi, the feast in honour of the elephant-headed Lord Ganesh. While you’re in the city, take the time to enjoy the variety of temples, marketplaces, and museums that make Mumbai truly special.
