Crowds is a score out of 100 where higher is quieter. It counts public-holiday clusters in NG as well as at Mumbai, which is why this table differs from the same one read from another country. A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. Crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.
How busy it gets
The year in Mumbai
Mumbai experiences a monsoon season from June to September, which significantly impacts travel plans. The cooler months from November to February are ideal for visiting.
| Busiest |
early Nov to late Feb — This is the cooler, dry season when weather is most pleasant for tourists.
|
|---|---|
| Quieter, still good |
early Mar to late May — Warm weather with lower tourist numbers; better prices can be found.
early Oct to late Oct — Transition period with less rain before the peak season starts, may offer better deals.
|
| Wet or stormy |
early Jun to late Sep — monsoon, severe
|
| Watch out for | haze |
