When to go, and when not to
April, May, June, and October stand out as the best months to visit, each carrying the highest visit scores in the data. April brings highs around 24.4C with lows near 15.2C and over 11 hours of sunshine a day, May warms further to highs of 27.4C with very little rain, June reaches highs near 29.8C with close to 14 hours of sunshine, and October cools back down to highs around 28.0C with only about 3mm of rain, making it a comfortable shoulder-season choice.
The trade-off is that peak season stretches from April through August and includes October, so travelers chasing the best weather also encounter the busiest months. July and August push highs above 32C, making them considerably hotter than the spring or fall picks, while the quieter off-season months of January through March bring cooler temperatures and more rain, with January seeing about 39mm and February about 30mm, the wettest conditions of the year.
