What the numbers say

August is the driest month, with rain on 26% of days and daytime highs near 28.9°C (84°F). May is the wettest, at 45%. Temperature swings hard across the year — 26.2°C between August (28.9°C / 84°F) and January (2.7°C / 37°F) — so packing for the wrong month is the main risk. The record rules out too cold in Dec–Feb.
