When to go, and when not to

January, February, November, and December stand out as the best months to visit, combining cooler high temperatures in the low-to-mid 20s Celsius, lower rainfall than the summer months, and solid daily sunshine hours. These conditions make for more comfortable sightseeing weather compared to the heat and humidity of the middle of the year.

The trade-off is that January, February, July, and August, along with November and December, fall within the peak season, so some of the best-weather months also see higher demand. Meanwhile, the wettest and hottest stretch runs from April through September, with rainfall peaking near 378mm and 382mm in May and June and highs reaching into the low 30s Celsius from June through September, making the shoulder months a compromise between comfort and crowds.
