When to go, and when not to
The strongest months for a visit are January, February, October, and December, when daytime highs range from about 19 to 28 degrees Celsius and sunshine holds around 8 hours a day. Rainfall in these months is notably lower than the rest of the year, with December seeing only about 8mm and January about 26mm, making for drier, more comfortable conditions.
The trade-off is that January, February, October, and December overlap with the peak season, alongside July and August, so some of the best weather months are also the busiest. July and August bring the hottest conditions, with highs near 30.8C and 30.4C and rainfall above 330mm, while June through September overall are the wettest and most humid stretch of the year.
