to around 20°C. You can have misty starts to the morning clearing
away quickly to give very pleasant days and nights. There will be
the odd days of rain but rarely for long periods. This is also a
good time to visit as there are fewer tourists around!

spells with average daily
temperatures around 24°C. July

the area during these months
-it's not for the weather! A
good time to to house hunt if
you are looking for a permanent
move as the rose-coloured
spectacles will not be required. |
