What the numbers say

September is the driest month, with rain on 54% of days and daytime highs near 28.3°C (83°F). February is the wettest, at 76%. Temperature barely moves all year — just 1.3°C between the warmest and coolest months — so rainfall, not heat, decides when to go. The record rules out too wet in Oct–May.
