What to expect in the worst months
June. Daytime highs averaging 33°C / 92°F mean outdoor sightseeing between roughly 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. becomes uncomfortable — locals retreat indoors and many smaller shops close in the afternoon. 20 rain days out of 30 means roughly 67% of days see measurable rainfall — plan flexible indoor backups for every outdoor day.
May. Highs in the 32°C range are tolerable in the shade but draining if you're walking all day. 21 rain days out of 31 means roughly 68% of days see measurable rainfall — plan flexible indoor backups for every outdoor day.
July. Highs in the 33°C range are tolerable in the shade but draining if you're walking all day. 23 rain days out of 31 means roughly 74% of days see measurable rainfall — plan flexible indoor backups for every outdoor day.
