When to go, and when not to
April, May, June, and September stand out as the best months to visit, based on a combination of comfortable temperatures and strong sunshine hours. April and May bring highs in the low-to-high 20s Celsius with sunshine averaging around 8.7 to 8.8 hours a day, while September offers highs near 27C alongside noticeably lower rainfall than the summer months.
The trade-off is that these best months fall within the wider peak season of April through September, when more travelers are likely to be visiting. Summer brings its own challenges: June highs reach 34.4C, and July and August are the wettest months of the year, with 146mm and 145mm of rain respectively, so travelers sensitive to heat or rain may prefer the shoulder months of April, May, or September over the peak of summer.
