What to Expect

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

  • Quieter period with less favourable weather

Cons

  • Frequent rain may disrupt outdoor activities
  • High humidity makes the heat feel oppressive

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.
