The months of June, July, August, and September stand out as the best time to visit based on local climate data, offering the most sunshine hours per day, ranging from about 11.5 to 12.9 hours, along with very little rainfall, often just a few millimeters per month. Daytime highs during this stretch climb well into the 29 to 33 degree Celsius range, giving consistently warm, dry conditions.
The trade-off is that this same window is also the peak season, so it coincides with the warmest temperatures of the year, with July in particular reaching an average high of 33.5 degrees Celsius. Travelers who prefer milder weather or lower prices might look instead to the off-season months of February, March, and April, though these bring cooler temperatures and more rain, including 87mm in April and 63mm in March, the wettest months on record here.
