What the numbers say

July is the driest month, with rain on 19% of days and daytime highs near 29.9°C (86°F). November is the wettest, at 42%. Temperature swings hard across the year — 24.3°C between August (30.6°C / 87°F) and January (6.3°C / 43°F) — so packing for the wrong month is the main risk.
