During these months, you'll experience consistent sunshine and minimal rainfall, making it ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the region and enjoying outdoor activities. The weather is generally warm and pleasant, great for relaxing on the beach or venturing into the national parks. This period is particularly good for families looking for reliable weather for their holiday, as it minimises the chances of plans being disrupted by rain.


The shoulder months of May, June, and November can also be a good option. While there might be occasional rain showers, especially in the afternoons, these are often short-lived. The landscape is lush and green, and you'll find fewer crowds compared to the peak dry season. This period offers good value for travellers who appreciate a slightly quieter experience and don't mind a bit of rain.


For those planning activities like white-water rafting or exploring the rainforest, the early part of the wet season (May and June) can be excellent. The rivers are full, and the vegetation is at its most vibrant.
