When to go, and when not to
The strongest months to visit are January, February, March, and November, which line up with the mildest and driest weather of the year. Daytime highs during this stretch range from about 20 degrees Celsius in January up to around 31 degrees Celsius in March, with November highs near 28 degrees Celsius, and rainfall in these months stays under about 30 millimeters, paired with solid sunshine hours.
The trade-off is that this same window is also the peak season, so it draws the most visitors of the year. The months to plan around are April through September, when temperatures climb sharply, peaking with highs near 39 to 40 degrees Celsius in May and June, and rainfall rises well above 100 millimeters from June through September, reaching about 313 millimeters in July, the wettest month of the year.
