Winter
December - February · 5-10°C (41-50°F)
Mild but often overcast and damp; pleasant for city sightseeing if you don't mind grey skies and occasional drizzle and fewer crowds.
Rainy Season
May - June · 18-28°C (64-82°F)
Steady spring rains and drizzle make rivers full and uphill streets slippery; museum-hopping and hot-pot dinners are welcome refuge indoors.
