When to go, and when not to
The best months to visit, based on year-round comparisons, are May, June, and October. May and June bring average highs of about 23.3C to 27.3C with strong sunshine hours of 8.5 and 8.4 hours a day respectively, while October offers similarly warm days near 23.3C with less rainfall at 168mm, making it a comfortable time to explore outdoors.
The trade-off is that May, June, July, and October make up the peak season, when travel demand rises alongside good weather. June is also the wettest month on average with 331mm of rain, and July and August bring the year's hottest and most humid conditions, with July highs averaging 32.6C and August reaching 34.2C, so travelers sensitive to heat or rain may prefer the shoulder months within that peak window.
