What the numbers say

August is the driest month, with rain on 29% of days and daytime highs near 26.2°C (79°F). May is the wettest, at 45%. Temperature swings hard across the year — 23.6°C between August (26.2°C / 79°F) and January (2.6°C / 37°F) — so packing for the wrong month is the main risk. The record rules out too cold in Dec–Feb.
