Still excellent weather with just enough afternoon drama to keep things interesting. Crowds thin slightly and prices drop, making March a sweet spot for those who don't mind the occasional rumble of thunder.

All Months
December through April is prime time — dry skies, gentle breezes, and that perfect 28°C temperature that makes you forget winter exists. But here's the local secret: May can be spectacular too, with fewer crowds and lower prices, though you might catch the occasional afternoon shower. The monsoon season from June to November brings daily downpours, but they're usually short and intense. Many guesthouses slash prices by 40% during these months. If you don't mind dodging raindrops and want the island mostly to yourself, September and October offer incredible value. Just pack a good rain jacket and embrace the dramatic storm clouds over the ocean.
