When to go, and when not to
January, March, April, and November stand out as the best months to visit based on visit scores. January offers mild weather with average highs of about 18.8C and low rainfall near 34mm, while April brings warmer highs around 26.5C along with strong sunshine near 7.4 hours a day, and November sits in between with highs around 24.4C and moderate rain of about 82mm.
These same months also make up the peak season, so travelers should expect more visitors and possibly higher demand during that stretch. The trade-off appears in the months left out: October brings the heaviest rainfall of the year at about 310mm, and August is the hottest month with average highs of 33.2C, both factors that likely keep their visit scores lower despite falling within or near the May-to-November typhoon season.
