The cool season lasts from November to February with chilly winter weather. The hot season from March to May can see temperatures soar to as high as 36 degrees Celsius but can get pretty cool at night.  The rainy season lasts from May to the beginning of October with frequent short rainstorms and humidity. The rains are rarely long enough to disrupt travel plans.
