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.

The month of October is typically very hot, with temperatures occasionally soaring above 38°C/100°F. The rains usually begin at the end of October or beginning of November.

Wet Season –November to April - Summer

Calling this the Wet season is slightly misleading, as there is only a little 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 17°C/63°F.

• November & December - The occasional thundershower occurs in November, marking 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 average of 30°C/86°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. Daytime temperatures are around 29°C/84°F but can spike higher.
• April - In April the rains slow gradually, as the daytime temperature cools to an average of 28°C/82°F.
