Rain days are the days with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts them.

Crowds is a score out of 100 where higher is quieter. It counts public-holiday clusters in CA 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

Busiest in February and March; quietest in July and October.

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

Written by a language model from the climate figures above. The month-by-month table is measured — ten years of ERA5 readings and published holiday calendars — and where the two disagree, the table is the one to believe.
