Planning a Trip to Mumbai? Here's the Weather
See what weather to expect in Mumbai, India and plan your trip with confidence. Monthly averages from real historical weather data.
Mumbai runs on two modes: the relentless wet season, when July alone delivers 805mm of rain and the city's streets turn to rivers, and the long, dry cool-down that follows. The contrast is part of what makes it compelling — the same city that floods dramatically also offers months of genuinely pleasant weather ideal for wandering its colonial-era neighbourhoods, ducking into world-class museums, and eating your way through its legendary restaurant scene.

November through March is the window to be here: temperatures sit comfortably in the high 29°Cs to low 32°Cs and rainfall drops to near nothing, making it easy to spend full days outdoors without the oppressive downpours that define the rest of the year. January nights dip to around 19°C, the coolest you'll find, which makes long evenings at an open-air restaurant genuinely enjoyable rather than a sweaty endurance test.
The best time to visit Mumbai is November through March, when daytime highs average around 31°C and rainfall stays low at roughly 5mm per month. These months offer the most comfortable conditions for sightseeing, outdoor activities, and exploring the city at a relaxed pace. February is typically the driest of these months, with only around 0mm of precipitation.
The months surrounding July bring extraordinary rainfall that regularly disrupts transport and floods low-lying areas, making sightseeing genuinely difficult rather than just uncomfortable.
