🇧🇪 Brussels vs 🇮🇳 Mumbai

Brussels sits in a broad valley carved by the Senne river, with the city climbing from the low-lying lower town (~15m elevation) to the upper town and surrounding plateaus (~100m). This topographic split creates distinct microclimates: the lower town is prone to fog, temperature inversions, and trapped humidity, while the higher southeastern districts enjoy better ventilation and slightly cooler summers. The city's extensive parks and forested edges — particularly the Sonian Forest to the southeast — provide significant cooling corridors, but the dense 19th-century urban core generates a pronounced heat island effect.

Tropical monsoon — hot and humid year-round, extreme monsoon season

Mumbai has one of the world's most dramatic monsoon seasons. The southwest monsoon (June–September) dumps enormous rainfall, regularly flooding the city. The dry season (November–February) is the time to visit with warm but manageable conditions.
