Mumbai experienced a long monsoon season this year. The city, in the next few months, will witness winters and will experience a decline in the heat. However, experts have also warned of seasonal health-related issues which are caused due to the changing environment. However, the city might experience showers for a few days in mid-November and the same would be the case in some parts of the state. Winters in Mumbai will begin from mid-December and the temperature this year is expected to drop to 15-16 degrees, with the lowest of 12 to 13 degrees on some days.
