What to Pack
June is the driest month of the summer, daytime temperatures range from the mid twenties (22-31degrees centigrade). Evenings are much cooler and can be chilly (cold) so you will need to take a jacket or fleece. Daytime temperatures in July and August are consistently in the high twenties (25-31 degrees centigrade), but temperatures can still drop sharply at night. Expect occasional, light, late afternoon and evening showers (lasting less than 2 hours) in late July and August. In September, daytime temperatures can range between 18-24 degrees centigrade, while evenings can drop down to freezing. It isextremely unusual to have multiple days of rain at any time of the year.
