. It did get cloudy & rained. But still warm and after a cloudburst, it was sunny. Just have an umbrella for the sudden downpour. It didn’t detract from our New Year Holiday.

Rainy season finishes October, maybe with some less rain in November, Dec/Jan is fine but is winter where temperatures may drop to 20c at night, maybe more in the north. I would check a Web app for more details.
