When to go, and when not to
The strongest visiting conditions fall in June, July, August, and September, when daytime highs run from about 24.7C to 29.6C and sunshine reaches up to 11.8 hours a day in July. These months combine reliably warm weather with long daylight hours, which is why they stand out as the best time to plan a trip.
That same stretch is also the peak season, meaning more visitors and higher demand throughout the summer. July is both the hottest month at a 29.6C high and one of the wetter ones with 131mm of rain, so travelers should expect some heat and occasional downpours even during the most popular months to visit.
