November - July

With a tropical climate downpours can occur at any time throughout the year but these months tend to be wetter. With high temperatures and humidity it can feel very hot and oppressive. January through February is carnival season with plenty of festivities, parades and parties. March usually has a short dry season and then from April to June there is heavy rain and suffocating humidity.
