Across a typical year, afternoon temperatures swing between 20°C (January) and 32°C (July). The wet–dry contrast is pronounced: 82% rain-day odds in August against 19% in November. If 24°C is your bar for proper warmth, count on March–November.
Season by season (on the northern calendar), spring brings 28°C highs with 30% rain-day odds, summer 31°C at 79%, autumn 28°C at 36%, and winter 22°C at 21%. In short: plan around spring if you can, keep winter as the fallback, and go into summer with managed expectations (its season score is 80). A practical compromise is March — the edge of the warm window, averaging 26°C with a 91 sun score.
