What the numbers say

January is the driest month, with rain on 19% of days and daytime highs near 28.1°C (83°F). August is the wettest, at 94%. Temperature barely moves all year — just 2.6°C between the warmest and coolest months — so rainfall, not heat, decides when to go. The record rules out too wet in Mar–Nov.
