July and August are the peak of the year, when temperatures can exceed 30°c at their peak. The weather starts to decline in September and October as the summer party season comes to a close, expect anything from 28-16°c as the time goes on. November and December are the start of Winter and the temperature begins to loop around to the same as it was in January and February. Expect 20-9°c.
