What to Expect

With midday temperatures reaching 34°C (93°F), schedule outdoor activities for early morning or late afternoon. Evenings remain warm enough for comfortable outdoor dining and night markets. Keep afternoons flexible as tropical showers are common — they typically clear within an hour.

Rain most often builds later in the day, so mornings are typically the driest window and afternoon showers are more likely.

Weather conditions this month are less ideal compared to other times of the year. Indoor activities or shorter outings may be more comfortable.

Pros

Abundant sunshine for exploring and outdoor fun
Quieter period with less favourable weather

What to Wear

Light, breathable fabrics like cotton and linen are essential. Opt for loose-fitting clothing in light colors to stay cool. A waterproof jacket and shoes are non-negotiable — showers are frequent.
