Good to know
Good to Know
- Rain typically falls as short, intense thunderstorms rather than persistent drizzle, so showers do not severely reduce daily sunshine.
- July to October coincides with tropical cyclone season; while devastating storms are rare, plan accordingly and monitor weather forecasts.
- February through April offers the most predictable, comfortable weather for outdoor activities and sightseeing.
- December–January are slightly cooler and less crowded than peak tourist season (February–April) but still warm and relatively dry.
- Temperature variation is minimal year-round (only 2–3°C (37°F) between day and night), so daytime and overnight conditions remain consistently warm.
- Humidity stays high throughout the year, even in the 'dry' season; plan for light, breathable clothing year-round.
Wind
