Best Time to Visit
June to August: Known for the hottest and driest weather and the peak season with the average high temperature is around 28°C and the rainfall is minimal. This is also the busiest and most expensive time of the year, and one may encounter some crowds and queues at the main attractions and beaches.
November to February: This is the best time to avoid the crowds and the high prices. The average high temperature is around 22°C and the rainfall is moderate. This is a good time to visit if one can tolerate some cooler and wetter days, and still enjoy plenty of sunshine and outdoor activities.
March to May and September to October: If anyone wants to balance the climate, this shoulder season is the best time to visit. The average high temperature is around 25°C and the rainfall is low. This is a great time to visit for one to experience the best of both worlds: warm and pleasant weather, fewer tourists, and lower costs.
