Rainy Season

22°C to 32°C (72°F to 90°F)

18°C to 28°C (64°F to 82°F)

Drier months reduce mosquitoes and humidity, making hikes, markets, and coffee-farm visits much more enjoyable for families and older travelers.

Hot Season

Peak heat feels sticky and intense; early mornings are lovely, but mid‑day temperatures generally discourage long outdoor activity and uncomfortable.
