Mumbai Records 29°C, 84% Humidity During Active Monsoon July 17
The Regional Meteorological Centre reading captures active monsoon conditions that shape daily routines across the city.
How we reported this
The India Meteorological Department’s Regional Meteorological Centre in Mumbai recorded 29°C with 84 percent relative humidity and westerly winds at 18.5 km/h at 18:30 IST on July 17. Sunrise occurred at 06:10 IST and sunset at 19:20 IST, with the moon rising at 09:00 IST.
Monsoon timing shapes city routines
July sits at the peak of the southwest monsoon season, when residents plan outdoor plans around brief windows between showers. The department’s Mumbai Monsoon section supplies onset and withdrawal graphics along with rainfall information that many households consult before heading to markets or coastal walks. Updated links for district forecasts and weekly rainfall maps allow quick checks on how conditions evolve across Mumbai and surrounding areas.
These tools have become part of regular morning checks for commuters and families who adjust travel times or picnic plans based on the latest bulletins. The same portal lists marine and coastal services that fishermen and port users reference when deciding whether to head out on the water.
Current observations and access points
The 18:30 IST observation places Mumbai squarely inside typical monsoon parameters, with humidity near saturation and steady westerly flow bringing moisture from the Arabian Sea. The department posts this data alongside satellite imagery, radar returns and lightning maps that residents can open directly from the site. A separate monthly outlook for rainfall and temperature during July 2026 is available as a downloadable release for longer-range planning.
Readers can reach the full set of local products, including the daily weather report in English and Marathi, the press bulletin and the district-wise rainfall summary, through the main Mumbai page. The station-wise nowcast warnings and impact-based forecast sections provide additional detail for anyone tracking short-term shifts in the coming hours.
Anyone seeking the latest city-specific guidance should open the local forecast PDF or the urban area forecast page hosted on the same site. These updates remain the quickest way to align weekend plans or work schedules with the monsoon pattern that continues through the month.
