When is Maharashtra’s monsoon season?

In Maharashtra, the monsoon season—characterized as hot and wet—typically occurs from June through September.1

The state's monsoonal climate is defined by the arrival of India's southwest monsoon rains, which usually break on the Mumbai coast during the first week of June. This period is critical for the region, as it accounts for approximately four-fifths of Maharashtra's total annual rainfall. While the monsoon generally lasts until September, the intensity of the precipitation varies significantly across the state due to the influence of the Western Ghats, which separate the wet Konkan Coast from the drier interior uplands.1
