Hey folks,
I’ve recently moved to Mumbai and this is my first time experiencing the weather here. Right now it’s extremely hot and humid — I’m staying on the top floor and honestly, surviving with just a fan feels impossible. I end up needing the AC most of the time.
I’ve heard from people that things get better once the monsoon starts — temperatures drop and it feels cooler. But at the same time, I’ve also read that humidity actually increases during the rains.
So I’m a bit confused — what’s the real experience like?
During monsoon:
Does it actually feel comfortable indoors?
Can you realistically manage with just a fan, or is AC still needed?
Even if it’s cooler, does the high humidity still make you feel sticky and uncomfortable?
Would really appreciate some honest inputs from people who’ve lived through Mumbai monsoons 🙏
