Weather
April in Mumbai is hot and humid ahead of the monsoon. Expect daytime highs of 31-36 C and overnight lows of 22-28 C, with strong sun and high humidity. Rain is usually limited in April, but occasional pre-monsoon showers are possible. Pack breathable cotton or moisture-wicking business wear, comfortable shoes for the NESCO halls, a refillable water bottle and a light layer for air-conditioned meeting rooms. UV levels are high, so sunscreen and a hat help during outdoor transfers. Confirm the forecast closer to 28-29 April 2027.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
Mumbai has wide 4G coverage and growing 5G coverage on major networks. International visitors can use roaming, an eSIM or a local prepaid SIM bought at BOM airport or city stores with a passport and photo; activation can take a few hours. Bombay Exhibition Centre halls typically have Wi-Fi, but capacity varies in crowded areas, so carry a mobile hotspot for demos. India uses 230V, 50Hz with Type D and Type M plugs; bring a universal adapter. Download offline maps and ride-hail apps before travel.
