When to go, and when not to
The strongest months for a visit are July, August, September, and October, when high temperatures sit around 30 to 31C and rainfall is very low, ranging from just 5mm in September to 38mm in July. Sunshine during this stretch runs from 11.2 to 11.7 hours a day, making it the driest and sunniest period of the year.
The trade-off is that these same months form the peak season, so prices and crowds tend to rise alongside the good weather. The wettest months fall earlier in the year, with March averaging 300mm of rain, February 271mm, and April 224mm, and this off-season period is also the cheapest and quietest time to visit despite the added rainfall.
