Temperatures reach their peak in July and August when they regularly climb above 30°C. It is also more humid around this time of year and can feel particularly hot in the crowded city streets. Those not used to the heat can become quite uncomfortable while sightseeing. Rainfall is lowest during July.

Winters tend to be mild, although temperatures are considerably lower than the summer months, especially after the sun gœes down. You should still experience plenty of sunshine during the winter, but rainfall can be heavy during February and March. The dusty streets in the old part of the city are transformed into a mud bath.
