In reply to Teagan R Geneviene. The monsoon season in India begins in June and stays until mid-October. However, lately the weather pattern has been erratic. July is probably the wettest month in India, especially Mumbai. These tips are based on personal experiences and therefore I had to mention to keep things dry. Thank you for your comment and taking out time to read, Teagan. Hugs from Sarah and me.

Great travel advice, Sharukh. I like that you included reminders about keeping things dry. Getting caught in a downpour can cause a lot of very inconvenient problems. Our monsoon season should start soon. Although sometimes we get very little rain even from that weather pattern down in the southern part of the state. LOL, the first time I moved to New Mexico, I thought everyone was playing a joke on me when they talked about “monsoon season.” But it’s true — we do get a monsoon season, often with flooding in many areas. They build arroyos to direct the water in cities and towns, but sometimes that isn’t enough. (An arroyo is defined as a steep-sided gully formed by the action of fast-flowing water in an arid or semi-arid region, found chiefly in the southwestern US. In cities they are paved with concrete.)
Hugs to you and Sarah.
