Good to Know
- Best for work continuity: November–March (dry, lower humidity, fewer weather disruptions)
- June is the wettest month with persistent heavy rain; May also brings significant rainfall
- High humidity (73–85% year-round) makes the heat feel more intense than raw temperature suggests; indoor A/C important
- Coastal breezes provide relief from midday heat, especially evenings and early mornings
- Water warm for swimming all year, though coolest in August
- No snowfall; entirely tropical—pack lightweight, breathable clothing and strong sunscreen year-round
- July–September see reduced coastal rainfall despite overcast skies; clouds limit direct sun even when rain is lower
