Best: Jun-Aug · Great: May, Sep-Oct
Weather shifts through genuine seasons here, from February's cool stretch to July's warmth, with rain a little heavier around December and lighter around July — real variation, but nothing as sharp as a true monsoon or Mediterranean dry season. In July, expect highs around 24°C with rain on roughly 1 day of the month.
