Weather shifts through genuine seasons here, from January's cool stretch to April's warmth, with rain a little heavier around November and lighter around April — real variation, but nothing as sharp as a true monsoon or Mediterranean dry season. In June, expect highs around 32°C with rain on roughly 13 days of the month.
Things to Do
