Weather in Maharashtra
Maharashtra is home to 51 cities tracked on Mausam Online, including Mumbai, Pune and Navi Mumbai. Live weather, hourly forecasts and air-quality data are available for every city.
Climate & seasons
Maharashtra has a tropical monsoon climate with three clear seasons. The hot season builds from March and peaks in April and May; the southwest monsoon then brings most of the year's rain from June to September, heaviest in July and August; and after it withdraws the months are dry, with warm days and cooler nights. The Konkan coast, including Mumbai, gets far more monsoon rain than the Deccan plateau inland, which lies in the rain shadow of the Western Ghats.
When to visit Maharashtra
The most comfortable months to visit are November to February, when the air is dry and the days are warm rather than hot. December and January are the coolest months. The monsoon months are humid, with heavy downpours.
