When to go, and when not to
The best months to visit are May, June, July, and August, when rainfall drops sharply and sunshine hours stay strong through the day. This dry stretch offers more consistent conditions for sightseeing and outdoor activity compared to the rest of the year.
The trade-off is that these same months make up the peak season, so accommodations may be busier and prices firmer. The wettest months fall at the start and end of the year, with January bringing 294mm of rain and November and December also seeing higher totals, while September stands out as the hottest month with an average high of 28.6C.
