November Rain in Mumbai

November Rain in Mumbai

It's November and it's raining in Mumbai. This is quite unexpected because monsoon in Mumbai lasts from June to September. The weather was cloudy for two days. The weather was quite different this year and it also rained less. I hope there won't be much water cuts in the city.

I was coming back from work today and There were lot of traffic jams because of the rain. I saw people using their umbrellas and also raincoats while going back home from their offices. I can't understand how did they get their umbrellas because it was not raining in Mumbai in morning. These people must have some good weather prediction skills.

Anyway, it was good fun as weather has become good. This rain also reminded me of my favorite Guns N roses song called November rain.

Mumbai Monsoon is here.

Monsoon in the June month was not good. I would rather say that there was not much rain in Mumbai. Monsoon has arrived now and we have a received a break from the warm summer of India. It's raining now while I am writing this blog and weather has become very pleasant in Mumbai. I read in the newspaper that there are still water cuts in Mumbai because the lakes that provide water to Mumbai have not been completely filled because of late monsoon.

I feel they will be filled up soon as rain is consistent for past one to two weeks.

Warm humid Weather in Mumbai

It's really warm in Mumbai and May month is almost ending. Just like me every Mumbaiite must be waiting for the monsoon. Monsoon in Mumbai lasts from June to September however the major monsoon starts in July. I have read in the newspaper recently that there is going to be high tide on July 24 this year and this high tide can be dangerous. I hope this high tide in Mumbai doesn't create a problem like we had on July 26 deluge when thousands of people were stranded and people were stuck in their offices.

Still, I feel the monsoon should arrive soon because I feel that the monsoon is the best season in Mumbai. Lot of people will agree with me. It's real fun to go near sea side and enjoy monsoon. The monsoon first arrives at Kerala, south indian state and then the south west monsoon winds move upwards. Just waiting for this warm humid weather to get over.
