Mumbai Weather in July

Mumbai weather in July remains hot and sultry. There is too much rainfall occurring. The precipitation reaches 821 mm and downpours can be expected almost every day. A large amount of rainfall also brings up the humidity which rises to around 83%. July sees an average temperature of 28℃ (82℉). The average high temperature is 31℃ (88℉) at midday and the average low temperature is 26℃ (79℉) at night. Plus rich rainfall, July’s weather is unbearably muggy and sweltering. 

Heavy rainfall in July affects traffic seriously. Flights, trains, buses, and urban public transport are often cancelled or delayed. Streets in Mumbai might also be flooded sometimes. As a result, it is not so recommended to travel there in July. If really want to, arrange a loose itinerary.     

 

If you plan to visit Mumbai in July, remember to prepare some light and breathable summer clothes. T-shirts, tank tops, blouses, light pants, shorts, and cotton dresses are all suitable clothes. Quick-drying clothes are also recommended in this rainy month. Sandals and flip-flops could be packed in your luggage but don’t forget to prepare a pair of waterproof shoes. Of course, rain gear is indispensable.   

Recommendation Rate of Travel:

It is highly advised to take a stroll at the city’s most iconic stone arch monument, Gateway of India. Then appreciate beautiful Art Deco style colonial buildings including Bombay High Court, the gorgeous Chhatrapati Shivaji Mahaji Terminus, dubbed the most beautiful train station in India, and Mumbai University. Visiting indoor museums is also a good choice when it is raining outside. The most unmissable one is the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya Museum, formerly known as the Prince of Wales Museum. The museum collects a lot of treasures including pottery, intricate Buddhist sculptures, and some exhibits from China and Japan. The museum itself is also worth a careful appreciation, featuring a three-storey domed architecture with typical Indian and Islamic styles. Another museum worth going is the Mani Bhavan Gandhi Museum, once the residence of Gandhi, displaying the life story of the hero.
