Rainfall is minimal during this time, offering clear skies and excellent conditions for outdoor activities.

While the rainfall can be substantial, it typically doesn't last all day. This is the low season, offering lower prices on accommodations and fewer tourists. It's a great time for budget-conscious travelers and those seeking a quieter experience. The landscape is lush and green during these months.
