How we pick the best months

  • Best: an average temperature of 1528°C and low rainfall for Mumbai: under 150 mm, and no more than 60 mm, a quarter above Mumbai's median month (never set below 60 mm).
  • If no month qualifies, we show the three driest months that average 10–30°C instead.
  • Wet: 150 mm of rain or more. Rainy: more than 60 mm. Hot: 29°C or more on average. Cool: under 15°C. Cold: under 5°C.

Averages cover day and night, so afternoons are warmer than the figure shown. Weather is only one reason to pick a month: school holidays, festivals and prices matter too.

Where these numbers come from

Monthly averages for January 2001 – December 2020 from the NASA POWER project, for the area around Chhatrapati Shivaji (BOM) at 19.09, 72.87. The model covers a grid about 50 km across, so a coastal or hilly spot can run a degree or two different. Retrieved 12 September 2026.

The data was obtained from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Langley Research Center (LaRC) Prediction of Worldwide Energy Resource (POWER) Project funded through the NASA Earth Science/Applied Science Program.
