The trade-off is that peak season also includes August, when heat and rain are both high, and travelers chasing the calmest weather should be aware that April and September are the wettest months, with 387mm and 423mm of rain respectively, while July is the hottest, with a high of 32.3C. Visitors who prefer lower prices over ideal weather may look instead to the off-season months of June, July, and September, accepting more rain and heat in exchange for quieter conditions.
