Maharashtra is one of the warmest region in India

with an average daily high temperature of 33
degrees centigrade. The climate is very warm with
an annual average of 33 degrees, but has few truly
tropical and sultry months. It is warm to hot all year
round and invites to bathe at average water
temperatures of 28 degrees. Dued to the lesser rain
the best time for traveling is from November to
May. Sometimes humidity ist unpleasantly high in
August. The most rain days occur from from June to
September.

Hours of sunshine per day

The number of hours of sunshine refers to the time

when the sun is actually visible. That is, without any
obstruction of visibility by clouds, fog or mountains.
With 9 hours per day, February is the sunniest
month in country part Maharashtra. In July the sun
shines the shortest.

Rainy days per month

A rainy day is a day on which at least an amount of

0.1 mm precipitation (=0.1 liter) per square meter
falls. This can be rain, snow, hail or even dew. So it
does not have to rain the whole day. With 21 rainy
days, July offers the most number of rainy days,
and in December the least.

Precipitation in mm/day

The amount of precipitation is measured in

millimeters per square meter. Thus, at 2 mm/day, 2
liters of water fall on one square meter within 24
hours. With only 0.13 mm, the least rain falls in
February. July, on the other hand, has the most
rain.

Water temperature

Water temperature depends not only on solar

radiation within the same region, but also on ocean
currents. For example, depending on the season,
cold or warm water masses are moved from other
areas. The warmest temperatures in Maharashtra
are in May, when the water is 29 °C.

Relative humidity in %

Warm air can absorb more moisture than cold air.

The relative humidity indicates how much moisture
of the physically possible is actually contained in the
air. At high humidity, the person feels uncomfortable
and perceives this as oppressive. In general, a
relative humidity of 40-60% gives as pleasant. With
humidity averaging 81%, August is the most
uncomfortable. In April, on the other hand, it is
easier to endure.

Absolute humidity in g/m³

In warm months, there is also a higher absolute

humidity almost everywhere. At a temperature of
25°C, air can absorb up to 23 grams of water per
cubic meter. At 20°C, it is only 17.3 grams. A
relative humidity of 40% at 25°C thus corresponds
to an absolute humidity of 9.2 grams of water. From
a proportion of approx. 13.5 grams, humans
perceive the air as muggy. This limit is reached in 8
months in Maharashtra, although these are average
values, and a month is rarely completely or not at
all considered humid.

Humidex in °C

The "Humidex" (humidity index) is an index of well-

being in warmer areas, calculated from the air
temperature, relative humidity and dew point. The
index corresponds approximately to the
temperature felt. At high temperatures, the body
transports heat away by sweating. At high humidity
the ambient air can only absorb a small amount of
sweat and thus one feels uncomfortable. An index
of 20-29 is considered comfortable. Up to 39,
people perceive the air as slightly uncomfortable,
and above 40, as very uncomfortable. Values above
45 are dangerous in the long run and often lead to
heat stroke.
