Hot. Year round. Humid. Year round. Rains from April to December almost daily. Usually dry in Jan, Feb, and March. Or at least less rainy. They call this the 'summer' since the kids are out of school, but since we are north of the equator, it is not really summer. - Sep 2018

Hot and humid and really hot. It is overcast and rainy for much the year (from Mid April to December) when it is also super humid. One will be sweaty just walking from the car to one's place of business. The dry season is sunny and although hotter, it's at least a little more comfortable because of reduced humidity. The downside to the dry season is that the beautiful, lush, green countryside turns brown. - May 2015

Very hot and humid. It rains almost every day from April through December. Having said that, we still manage to get outdoors most days. The rain is especially heavy in October and November, and the dry season goes from January through March, when it almost never rains. - Jan 2013


The dry season is from December to March. Rainy season can have afternoon showers (you need a large umbrella and galoshes/flip flops)or torrential showers with 10 inches in an hour perhaps. The drainage system for water can often leave some areas flooded. A car with some degree of clearance is useful for that reason and for touring outside of the city. - Sep 2011
