When to go, and when not to

The best-rated months to visit are June, July, August, and September, when daytime highs run from about 30 to 32C, rainfall drops as low as 0 to 18mm, and sunshine reaches 10 to nearly 11 hours a day. These are also the months identified as peak season, reflecting the more reliably dry and sunny conditions.

The trade-off is that peak season draws more visitors to the same dry, sunny weather that makes it appealing. On the other end, February through April bring the heaviest rain of the year, with March seeing as much as 404mm, and lower sunshine hours of around 8.6 to 9.3 a day, though this off-season period tends to be quieter and cheaper for lodging.
