What the numbers say

March is the driest month, with rain on 11% of days and daytime highs near 28.4°C (83°F). August is the wettest, at 75%. Temperature barely moves all year — just 2.5°C between the warmest and coolest months — so rainfall, not heat, decides when to go. The record rules out too wet in Jun–Oct.
