The Millennium City-Mumbai is as multi faceted in its season as it is in its charms. Every new season brings with it a new freshness or a new trouble for the residents of the city as well as for its visitors. But above all its challenges, Mumbai is one of the best cities to discover where every turn will give you a new insight. Read on to know more about the pros and cons of the seasons of Mumbai and also check out some good hotels in Mumbai to stay.
Summers: Roughly starting from mid March until May-June, the summers of Mumbai are hot. The days are also quite humid and maximum temperatures sometimes touch 40 degrees Celsius and minimum temperatures are 25 degrees. The cities proximity to the sea makes summers bearable due to the sea breeze that blows over the land. Summers are busy times for the residents and tourists generally avoid this time. This is the best time to discover the city and its numerous heritages at leisure. Due to the incessant sea breeze that blows during the evenings, it is the best time to check out the urban beaches of Mumbai that are the hubs of activity. The most popular beaches of Mumbai are the Juhu beach and Chowpatty or Girgaum beach and one must try out the legendary street food of Mumbai.
Monsoons: The monsoon of Mumbai could either be a great turn on or a huge turn off for visitors. Starting from June to the end of September, the monsoons of Mumbai are heady affairs. Due to its location near the foothills of the Western Ghats, Mumbai has heavy rainfall during this time. The first showers are enjoyed by one and all and this is perhaps the best time to be in the city. But as the months progress the incompetence of the Mumbai Municipal body comes to fore resulting in water drainage logging and subsequent overflowing resulting in floods. Get ready to wade through chest high water bodies if you stay back in the city during monsoons.
Winters: Undoubtedly the best time to be in Mumbai. Winters are mostly year ends and the climate becomes extremely pleasant. Coupled with the constant winds, winters are the best time to take a leisurely break from life and enjoy the sights and sounds of a city that is a true boiling pot for the variety of India. The only downside: winters are peak season and get ready for heavy crowds.
