When to go, and when not to
The best-rated months for a visit are January, February, August, and September, when daytime highs stay between 19.5C and 20.2C and rainfall drops as low as 29mm to 46mm, alongside more sunshine hours than in the wetter months. These conditions make for comfortable sightseeing weather with a lower chance of extended rain.
The trade-off is that January, February, July, August, and September are also the peak season, so travelers pay for the same good weather that draws more visitors. March and April bring the heaviest rain, with 154mm and 114mm respectively, while July offers drier conditions but falls within the busier travel months, so the calmer off-season of March, April, and July comes with a higher chance of rain in the first two of those months.
