When to go, and when not to

April, May, June, and September stand out as the best months to visit based on the climate averages. May offers a strong combination of high sunshine hours, warm temperatures with highs near 28.5C, and relatively moderate rainfall of 38mm, while April brings milder highs around 23.8C with similarly manageable rain. September also scores well, with sunshine around 8.1 hours a day and warm temperatures, even though rainfall picks up to 89mm.

The trade-off is that peak season, which includes April, May, June, August, and September, tends to draw more visitors during these same favorable months. June and July bring the hottest conditions, with highs reaching 34.1C in both months, and July in particular is the wettest month of the year at 258mm of rain, which corresponds to its lowest visit score. Travelers seeking lower costs and fewer crowds can look to the off-season months of January, July, and December, keeping in mind that July's rainfall is a real trade-off for the savings.
