When to go, and when not to
The months with the highest visit ratings are June, July, August, and September, which also form the peak season. September stands out for combining strong sunshine hours with a high of 22.9C, a low of 13.1C, and comparatively modest rainfall of 38mm, while June offers similarly warm days with a high of 26.2C and the most sunshine hours of the year at 10.4 per day.
The trade-off for visiting in peak season is that July is both the hottest and by far the wettest month, with a high of 28.3C and 245mm of rain, and August still brings substantial rainfall at 129mm alongside a high of 26.7C. Travelers who prefer drier, cooler conditions and lower costs can instead look to the off-season months of January, November, and December, though these bring much colder temperatures, including a January low of -16.4C.
