Dry season –May to October - Winter

As the winter months wear on, conditions become drier and drier. These are the coolest months of the year.

• September & October - Temperatures are on the rise, averaging a warm 29°C/84°F. Early morning averages at 14°C/58°F. The month of October is characteristically very hot, with temperatures occasionally soaring above 38°C/100°F. The rains usually begin end of October/beginning of November.

Wet season –November to April - Summer

Calling this the Wet season is slightly misleading, as there is still only a scant amount of rain. Yet, afternoon showers do occur, just not on a daily basis. The climate remains sunny and hot. Warmer mornings are typical, with averages of around 16°C/61°F.

• November & December - The occasional thundershower occurs in November, signifying the beginning of the rainy season. It is still mainly dry, but these rains bring relief from the long, dry period. Temperatures are the highest of the year, with a typical afternoon 29°C/84°F.
• January, February & March - Most rain happens during these three months. Thunderstorms are common in the afternoon, but the sun is often out all day long. Temperatures reach 29°C/82°F, but are known to spike higher.
• April - April sees the rains slowing gradually, as the temperature cools to an average of around 28°C/79°F.
