Climate of Mumbai
The climate of Mumbai is tropical, with defined wet and dry seasons (Köppen: Aw/Am). The mean annual temperature is 27.7 °C or 81.9 °F. Average annual rainfall is 2,213.4 millimetres or 87 inches in Colaba, which represents South Mumbai, and 2,502.3 millimetres or 99 inches in Santacruz, which represents central and suburban Mumbai. The mean maximum average temperatures is about 32 °C (90 °F) in summer and 30 °C (86 °F) in winter, while the average minimums are 26 °C (79 °F) in summer and 18 °C (64 °F) in winter. The city experiences a lengthy, practically rainless dry season, and a relatively short, but extremely rainy wet season; due to the Southwest Monsoon and orographic influences from the nearby Western Ghats.These conditions effectively place Mumbai between a Tropical monsoon climate (Am) and a Tropical savannah climate (Aw), with more tilt towards the former considering annual precipitation.
The following is the monthly breakdown of the weather in Mumbai.
January is the coolest month of the year for Mumbai, with the mean daily minimum being 16.4 °C and the mean daily maximum being 30.1 °C. The nightly lows may vary between 13 °C and 20 °C. Chilly northern winds during the day make the city seem cooler than it is. Generally, clear skies, with some smog – especially in the early morning – are the norm. The days are dry, and the nights relatively humid. January is also associated with the deciduous trees in the city shedding their leaves. On 26–27 January 2008, recorded a minimum temperature of 10.2 °C, which is the lowest recorded in 45 years. The lowest recorded temperature is 7.4 °C (45.3 °F) on 22 January 1962, which was the coldest day in Mumbai. Coastal areas are relatively cooler during the day, but they are warmer at night.
The fine January weather continues for the first fortnight of February. The mean daily minimum stays at 17.3 °C and the mean daily maximum is 31.3 °C with some possibility of unseasonable showers. Smog increases. 6 February 2008 recorded a minimum temperature of 9.4 °C. Just two days later, on 8 February, the minimum temperature recorded was 8.5 °C, which was the lowest temperature Mumbai had seen since January 1962.
The month of March sees a mean minimum temp of 20.6 °C and a mean maximum temp of 32.7 °C. During the transition from dry to humid weather in mid-March, the temperature might hit 38 to 40 °C. This high, however, is due to hot dry winds from Gujarat. By mid-March the temperatures may hit 37 °C, with the lows at 24 °C. Humidity is unbearable, and smog affects the city. New leaves sprout from deciduous trees. The all-time high day temperature for March was recorded in 2018 at 41.7 °C.
The temperatures and humidity are still high. However, the cooling effect of the sea breezes makes its presence felt. The high temperature stays around 35.1 °C and daily lows are around 23.2 °C. Plants are in full bloom in April.
May is the hottest month of the year for Mumbai with the cool sea breezes providing some relief. The daily maximum hovers around 34.5 °C and the daily low is 29.1 °C.
June marks the beginning of the monsoon period in Mumbai. The beginning of the month is characterized by a continuation of the summer with increased humidity. The official date for the monsoon to hit the city is 10 June. This period is marked by thunderstorms and often windy conditions as the monsoon establishes itself over the city. Rainfall activity intensifies as the month goes on, leading into the wettest month, July. The max and min mean daily temperatures are measured at 31.9 °C/26.6 °C.
