Ever wondered why Mumbai suddenly feels like summer in October? ☀️
It is actually a combination of things.
October marks the transition from the southwest monsoon to the post monsoon season. As the rains retreat, cloud cover reduces and the city gets more direct sunshine. At the same time, Mumbai still has high humidity because of its location along the Arabian Sea.
Then there is the changing sea breeze. During the monsoon withdrawal, wind patterns can change and a delayed or weaker sea breeze can allow temperatures to rise further.
And Mumbai itself adds to the problem. Concrete, roads and buildings absorb and retain heat creating what is known as the urban heat island effect.
This October showed just how intense it can get. On October 2, Colaba recorded 37.4°C, around 5.6°C above normal and its highest October temperature in at least 13 years.
Research also suggests that humid heat during the post monsoon period is becoming a growing concern along India’s west coast.
So the next time you say “October mein itni garmi kyun hai?” now you know. 🥵

![Going to Marine Drive? 🌊
Don’t just watch the sunset and head home. Make a whole evening out of it.
Start with a walk along the promenade, explore Mumbai’s art and heritage around Kala Ghoda, grab some food around Chowpatty or Churchgate, explore the old lanes of Girgaon or head up to Malabar Hill for a different view of the city.
There’s a lot more to explore around Marine Drive than you might think. Save this for your next Mumbai plan. ❤️

![For once, Mumbai says leave the car behind.
Kala Ghoda’s revamped heritage precinct is now pedestrian only every Saturday and Sunday from 6 PM to midnight.
✨ Five streets
🎨 Public art and murals
🚶 Better walking spaces
☕ Open air seating
📍 Kala Ghoda, Fort
The project draws inspiration from pedestrian streets in London and Glasgow while giving one of Mumbai’s most iconic neighbourhoods a completely different weekend vibe.
Would you spend your Saturday evening walking around Kala Ghoda?

![Mumbai has always been a city shaped by people from different parts of the world.
From the Chinese community in Mazagaon to the Baghdadi Jewish community in Fort and the Scottish congregation that established its church here, traces of these communities still remain across the city.
Sometimes, you don’t need to go far to find Mumbai’s history.
You just need to know where to look.

![Mumbai is growing. But are we making the city better or simply making it bigger?
The numbers are worth thinking about:
• Only 3.7% of Mumbai is accessible open space
• The city has just 1.8 sq m of green cover per person, compared with the 10 to 12 sq m benchmark in urban planning guidelines
• Mumbai’s vegetation cover fell from 46.42% in 1988 to 26.67% in 2018
• Built up areas can experience temperatures 5 to 6°C higher than well shaded areas
More construction means more pressure on roads, drainage, water, open spaces and the city’s natural ability to handle heat and heavy rain. BMC’s own Climate Action Plan recognises the need for more green and permeable spaces to reduce heat and flood risk.
Mumbai absolutely needs development.
But development shouldn’t only be about adding more buildings.
Maybe the real question is not how much more Mumbai can build, but how much better Mumbai can become.
