Best Time To Visit Mumbai

When people from Mumbai talk about their city, they never forget to mention the rains of Mumbai. Monsoon brings heavy rainfall in Mumbai. The showers are unpredictable and usually, begin from June. The weather continues to be humid, and the showers increase gradually. July is the wettest month. By September, the rains almost cease.

It is highly inconvenient to travel to Mumbai during the monsoon, but if you want to enjoy the greenery and magic of nature, you can go during the rainy season as well. The rains in Mumbai result in jam-packed roads, so you cannot explore all the places.

But you can enjoy other activities. You can head to Marine drive and watch the waves while sipping a cup of cutting chai with some pakoras. The view is splendid because the sea completely drenches it. The sea roars with high tides. When you do visit the sea during monsoons, stay far from the waves. You can make a plan for a romantic day out with your partner to the Seaface at Worli, find a cosy shade and enjoy the rain together.

Taking a ferry ride to Gateway of India is a great way to spend a rainy day because the monument looks beautiful with clouds all over it. It is an absolute paradise for photographers. September is a great time to be in Mumbai because the entire city is decked up to celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi which is the trademark festival of Mumbai.

Visiting Mumbai during summers must be avoided on account of heat and humidity because of its proximity to the sea, Mumbai experiences a coastal climate. The temperatures do not rise that much and hover around 30-35 degrees. But, the humidity is high, and it causes a great deal of sweating which makes local sightseeing unpleasant. If you are a budget traveller and can put up with the humidity, you might get good deals during summer. However, visiting Mumbai during May can be unpleasant because the weather is harsh.

Summer is the right time to try out all the water activities in Mumbai and drive to the nearby towns like Lonavala and Khandala as well. It is breezy during the evenings and cooler at nights so that one can cover a few destinations. To keep away from the scorching summer heat, one can spend the day at the Essel World which is a popular fun zone in Mumbai. One can indulge in the local 'chuskis' or 'golas' during summers, which are incredibly satisfying and take you back to your childhood.

Another activity for summer is going for a pool party. C'est la vie hosts a lot of pool parties in summer, where one can chill out and relax. Nothing is more refreshing than watching the sunsets by the sea. One can visit the Bandra Bandstand and watch the beautiful sundown and feel the evening breeze. A leisure walk on the Marine drive with friends or family is also an excellent activity for summer time. You can also head to beaches for the various water sports.
