Temperatures can reach over 100 degrees F (38 C) with the heat index going as high as 120 F (48 C). It may not get below 80 F (27 C) at night. This is also the Dry Season, with very little rain. It is oppressively and dangerously hot for some people. Rainy Season runs from June through October
Frequent heavy rains, most often at night. Temps from the 60s F (16 C) at night to the 90s (32 C) during the day.
Cool Season runs from November through February.
