Lotofaga in March
Not the best time
March teases you with occasional sunny spells but still delivers plenty of rain and sticky conditions. You'll save money and avoid crowds, but the weather can put a damper on outdoor plans. Consider it only if you're flexible about activities.
Weather
March starts showing hints that the wet season might eventually end, but don't get too excited yet. Rain becomes slightly more predictable - mostly afternoon and evening showers rather than all-day deluges. Humidity remains brutal at around 75-80%, and temperatures stay stubbornly warm.

March Tips
- •Mornings often stay dry - schedule beach time and outdoor activities early
- •Pack quick-dry everything; cotton clothing becomes a soggy nightmare
- •Mosquito repellent is essential - standing water everywhere breeds swarms
All Months
May through October delivers the goods - dry season means fewer mosquitoes, calmer seas, and temperatures that hover around 26°C. July and August see the most visitors, though 'crowded' here means maybe 20 other tourists total. December through April brings cyclone season and daily downpours that can strand you for days. But here's what the guidebooks won't tell you - shoulder months like May and October offer the best balance of good weather and empty beaches. Trade winds pick up in June, making it perfect for just lying in a hammock all day.
