Climate overview
Temperature
Monthly mean temperature reaches its recorded high in April, at 29.1 °C. The lowest monthly mean is October / December at 26.5 °C; because two months share this minimum, the figures indicate a modest range in monthly averages rather than a pronounced shift between the coolest and warmest points. These are monthly means, not daytime maximum temperatures, so they do not describe the full spread visitors may experience within a day. Across the calendar-month means, the unweighted mean is 27.4 °C. This summarizes the monthly averages without weighting them by the number of days in each month, and should not be read as a day-weighted annual average.
Rain
Mean daily rainfall is lowest in February, at 0.52 mm/day, and highest in September, at 10.85 mm/day. The figures are daily means for each month, not monthly rainfall totals; neither endpoint tells you how often rain falls or whether a particular day will be wet. Across the calendar-month means, the unweighted mean daily rainfall is 5.56 mm/day, a summary rather than a day-weighted annual average.
Sunshine
Mean daily sunshine duration is highest in March, at 11.18 hours/day, and lowest in September, at 8.14 hours/day. These averages can help with broad outdoor planning, but sunshine duration is not the same as day length and does not guarantee clear skies on a given day. The unweighted mean across calendar-month means is 9.45 hours/day; it is not weighted by the number of days in each month.

If lower average rainfall is your priority, February is the conditional option in this record, with mean daily rainfall of 0.52 mm/day. That average does not guarantee dry days or indicate rain frequency, so it is still sensible to allow for changing weather when planning outdoor sightseeing. For rain preparation, note that mean daily rainfall is highest in September, at 10.85 mm/day; this monthly average supports carrying rain protection as a precaution, but cannot predict conditions for a specific visit. Visitors prioritising cooler monthly averages can look to October / December, where the mean temperature is 26.5 °C, while keeping in mind that this is not a daytime maximum. For planning around average sunshine duration, March records 11.18 hours/day, while September records 8.14 hours/day. These figures may help when considering daylight outdoor plans, but sunshine hours are not day length and do not promise particular sky conditions.
