- Spring (March–May) brings gradually warming temperatures but mornings and nights remain cool; rainfall peaks at 80mm in April.
- You should be equipped for cool temperatures at night in the valleys, and even for the cold at high altitudes, as well as for afternoon thunderstorms.
- The city sits at 1,000m elevation, so conditions are milder than higher mountain areas; on high mountains, heavy snowfalls occur during winter, and in the highest peaks, snow can linger on the ground until July.
