  • Fall (September-November) – by the time fall arrives, most of the summer crowds have left and the city is relatively less busty. The temperatures remain pleasant throughout with the day time temperatures ranging between 24 to 25 degrees Celsius.

  • Winters (December-February) – The winter months are the coolest and the wettest. The temperatures fall to about 19 degrees Celsius and the winter months receive significant rainfall with precipitation levels between 36 to 46mm.
