What to expect
Daytime
Hot days in Mumbai. Ruins, markets and hills are a morning job. Midday sightseeing is how people remember August for the wrong reason.
Nights stay warm. Air-con, if you can get it, is part of the brief. A jumper for August in Mumbai is almost always a waste of bag space.
Rain
August is the wet side of the year in Mumbai. Days can be heavy. Plans that cannot survive rain are the wrong plans.
This is not a reason to skip Mumbai if you like the place. It is a reason to pack for weather and to stop treating every grey hour as a failed holiday.
Evening
Evenings stay warm.
