The monsoon reaches Mumbai about 10 days after Thiruvanantapuram and so the initial impact of the monsoon continues into the next month. After the first initial downpour the monsoon falls into a steady pattern of raining for at least a couple of days. So it reduces in thiruvanathapuram earlier than in mumbai.

Bombay is an island and nearly the end of the western ghats. Being an island, it is always hot and humid. Moreover it is closer to the Rajasthan deserts on one side, Vidhyas(Deccan Plateau in the South, it become rain catchment area. Since during July the Southern tip of South West Monsoon moves Eastwards and Northern tip moves towards west, Mumbai gets more rain, particularly between later half of July and the first half of August.

Why are thiruvananthapuram and shillong rainier in June than in July?

In Shillong, June is usually rainier due to pre-monsoon showers and convective activities, while July sees a slight decrease in rainfall as the monsoon begins to establish over the region.

Why is Calcutta rainier in July than in June unlike Shillong which is rainier in June than in July?

Kolkata lies more west than where Shillong lies.In simple words,Shillong lies east to Kolkata and so falls first in the path of Bay of Bengal branch of South west monsoon. The general trend of Bay of Bengal monsoon winds that cause rainfall in eastern part of India is from east to west along the Ganga valley over northern plains of the country. As Shillong is situated on the eastern side of Kolkatta,the precipitation occurs first(in the month of June) and then Kolkata(sharply in the month of July)
