Mumbai Weather Today, October 7: Mainly Clear Skies, 33–34°C High; Afternoon Rain Uncertain
Mumbai’s weather forecast for Wednesday, October 7, 2026, points to a mainly clear, hot and humid day. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts a high of 33°C for both Colaba and Santacruz, while another city forecast puts the high at 34°C. An afternoon shower is possible according to one hourly forecast, but drizzle is not a firm prediction for the city.
Will it rain in Mumbai today?
The IMD’s city forecasts describe Wednesday’s sky as mainly clear and show no weather warning for Colaba or Santacruz. A separate model-based hourly forecast, however, shows the chance of rain increasing after midday and reaching roughly 55% late in the afternoon. Other forecasts keep the day largely dry.
That difference matters for anyone planning an afternoon commute: rain cannot be ruled out, but a citywide spell of drizzle—particularly one beginning in early afternoon—has not been established. Conditions may also differ between neighbourhoods. Carrying a compact umbrella is a reasonable precaution if plans depend on staying dry, and a fresh forecast closer to departure will be more useful than treating any predicted shower time as certain.
Temperature and humidity
Expect warm conditions from the morning onward. The IMD forecasts a low of 26°C and a high of 33°C at both of its Mumbai city stations for Wednesday. Other published forecasts place the high near 34°C. Humidity can make the air feel hotter than the measured temperature, especially during outdoor travel in the middle of the day.
For context, the IMD recorded 32.3°C at Colaba on Tuesday, October 6, with relative humidity of 84% in the morning and 86% later in the day. Those are observations from Tuesday, not a measure of Wednesday’s humidity; they help explain why a low-to-mid-30s forecast can still feel uncomfortable.
What about Thursday?
For Thursday, October 8, the IMD forecasts partly cloudy skies, with a low of 26°C and a high of 33°C at Colaba and Santacruz. Forecasts can change, particularly for the timing and location of a brief shower. Residents should check the latest local forecast or any IMD update before making weather-sensitive plans.
