There are two rainy seasons and two dry seasons. September and October are the wettest months, and the rains usually start sometime in August and end sometime in November. The main dry season starts after that and runs through February. It rains fairly regularly again until June, and then there is another, shorter dry season that lasts a couple months and isn't nearly as dry as the one between December and February. - Apr 2017
