What the numbers say

January is the driest month, with rain on 13% of days and daytime highs near 29.1°C (84°F). September is the wettest, at 96%. Temperature barely moves all year — just 3.7°C between the warmest and coolest months — so rainfall, not heat, decides when to go. The record rules out too wet in Mar–Nov.
