Verdict combines mean daytime high with rainy-day frequency. “Rainy days” is the share of days in the month with at least 1 mm of rain.

What the numbers say

February is the driest month, with rain on 56% of days and daytime highs near 27.6°C (82°F). September is the wettest, at 91%. Temperature barely moves all year — just 2.8°C between the warmest and coolest months — so rainfall, not heat, decides when to go. The record rules out too wet in Apr–Dec.
