Pack light, breathable clothes all year (highs of 30–34°C), and from June to September pack for serious rain: Mumbai's monsoon brings rain on 14–23 days a month, with over 900 mm in July.
Mumbai has two packing lists. Most of the year it's simply hot, so light clothes, sunscreen, insect repellent and an insulated bottle cover it. From June to September, the monsoon takes over: rain on 14–23 days a month, and over 900 mm in July.
November to February is the driest and most pleasant time. During the monsoon, waterproof sandals beat shoes, and keep your phone in a waterproof pouch. India uses Type C, D and M plugs at 230 V: bring a Type D adapter.
