The months of March and October are warm to some extent, but still are the apt seasons for exploring Mumbai, as it's neither extreme hot nor cold. Although Mumbai can be visited anytime, but it's recommended to avoid the monsoon season, as there's water logging on the roads which may prove to be an obstacle in your travelling.
