When to go, and when not to

The highest-rated months for a visit are January, February, March, and December. These months combine warm but not extreme daytime highs, generally in the 30 to 36 degree Celsius range, with little to no rainfall and strong daily sunshine of roughly 10 to 11 hours. December and January stand out with the top visit scores of the year, reflecting this dry, sunny, and comparatively mild combination.

The trade-off comes later in the calendar. Peak season also includes July and August alongside the cooler months, despite July bringing the heaviest rain of the year at 491mm and August close behind at 348mm, along with reduced sunshine hours. April and May bring the hottest daytime highs, reaching 38.4C in April, while June through August form the wettest and lowest-scoring stretch overall, making the cooler winter months a more comfortable choice for most travelers.
