When to go, and when not to
May through August stand out as the best months to visit, combining the year's highest sunshine totals of over 10 hours a day with very low rainfall, in some months just a few millimeters. Daytime highs during this stretch run from about 33.7C to 34.6C, making for a hot but dry stay compared with other times of year.
Because May through August is also the peak season, expect higher demand during these months, so planning accommodation in advance is worth doing. The trade-off for cooler or cheaper travel is more rain: November and December bring the heaviest rainfall of the year at 142mm and 153mm respectively, and these overlap with the off-season months of March, April, and December when prices and crowds are lower.
