When to go, and when not to
The best months to visit, based on temperature, rainfall, and sunshine, are May, June, September, and October. September and October combine strong sunshine hours with high daytime temperatures in the low-to-mid 30s Celsius and comparatively low rainfall, while May offers milder highs around 26C with more sunshine hours than the cooler months.
The trade-off is that May through October also make up the peak season, so travelers should expect the summer months of June through August to bring the most intense heat, with highs reaching into the upper 30s Celsius in July and August. March is the wettest month at 80mm of rain, so travelers aiming for drier conditions outside the peak season may find the shoulder months more comfortable than early spring.
