The average daytime temperatures generally vary between 22 and 30 degrees Celsius. There are two seasons, dry season from November to April and wet season (or rainy season) from May to October.
The average rainfall still remains fairly low during the dry season (the most popular for North Americans).
During summer, do not forget to bring a good insect repellent.
For those who do not support heat, note that summer months are very hot (30C +) and humid. During the dry season (winter), it only rains very rarely, but evenings can be cool enough to bring long pants and sleeves.
