Weather in Mumbai in November

A good month. November works. It is not the peak, but nothing about it fights you. Highs average 31.9 °C, lows 19.9 °C, and rain falls on 3 days — nothing in the month is working against you.

November ranks 3 of 12 in Mumbai. Only December scores clearly higher, and the difference is small enough to be settled by price rather than weather.

Rain falls on only 3 days, so an itinerary with no wet-weather fallback is a reasonable risk. Pack for 31.9 °C days and 19.9 °C nights; the spread matters more here than any single number.

What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: 28 days top 30 °C, making the heat continuous rather than occasional. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest November day reached 36.8 °C and the coldest night fell to 15 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 45 mm — roughly 265% of the month's rain in one day.

This is the volatile part. November rainfall has ranged from 0 mm to 109 mm across the twenty years measured — a 109 mm spread around an average of 17 mm. The average is real but almost no individual November looks like it, so treat the figure as the middle of a wide range rather than a forecast.

Wind is light at 7 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 69%.

How November sits in the year

Temperatures hold steady either side: 31.9 °C in October, 31.9 here, 31.8 in December. Nothing about the timing within the month matters much. Rain has already shifted: 8 days fewer than October had.

Daylight in November

November sits at the dark end of Mumbai's year — 11.2 hours of daylight against 13.3 at midsummer, losing 0.4 hours across the month. Sightseeing days are genuinely shorter, and an itinerary built for summer will not fit.

Sea temperature

The sea sits at about 28.3 °C in November — warm enough that the water offers no relief from the heat. The sea peaks at 29.7 °C in May and bottoms out at 26.1 °C — water lags the air by a month or two, which is why the best swimming often comes after the best weather.

How busy it gets

Peak season. Expect the highest prices of the year and to be booking well ahead.

Crowd levels are estimated from climate desirability and school-holiday calendars, not from visitor numbers.

November in Mumbai versus nearby

If Mumbai is one option among several, the nearby comparison is worth making. Virār is a better bet in November — 2.7 °C cooler, 1 day less rain. Pune is a better bet in November — 3.6 °C cooler, the same number of rain days.

So: November is effectively as good as it gets here — 4 points behind December, which is inside the margin where the weather stops being the deciding factor and price starts being it.
