Gorgeous 6 months out of the year, brutally hot six months out of the year. Get on or in the water and that will help with the heat. - Sep 2020


It's nice around November to March and then it gets very warm and humid from April to June and then warm and dry until November. - Apr 2018


From October to April, the weather is gorgeous. Mid-high 80s, mid-low 70s at night. Low humidity at that time, too. That's also whale-shark season. But from April to September, it is super hot and humid, more than 100 degrees. By June-July, you are just moving from one air-conditioned place to another. - Jun 2016


Great in the winter, some storms and hamseen (sp?) in the summer. Watch the movie Hidalgo and you'll get an idea of the occasional storm here. - Aug 2015
