When to go, and when not to
The months with the strongest overall weather conditions are February, June, July, and September. June and July form the cooler, drier stretch of the year, with highs around 21C and lows near 10C and comparatively little rainfall, while February and September bring warmer temperatures alongside solid sunshine hours and moderate rain totals.
The trade-off is that February, June, July, August, and September together make up the peak season, which can mean more visitors during those windows. Some of the year's wettest conditions fall outside this favorable stretch, with March recording the highest rainfall of any month and November and January also seeing notably wet periods, while December brings the highest average high temperatures of the year.
