When to go, and when not to
The best months to visit are January, February, March, and November, when daytime highs range from about 20C to 31C and rainfall stays no higher than 30mm, with sunshine hours between roughly 9.0 and 10.7 hours a day. These conditions make outdoor sightseeing more comfortable than in other months.
Peak season overlaps with these same months, so popular sites can be busier at that time. The trade-off is the summer stretch from June through September, when highs climb toward 38.9C in June and rainfall reaches 343mm in July, making that period both the hottest and wettest of the year.
