During this period, you'll experience longer daylight hours and less rainfall, making it ideal for outdoor activities and sightseeing around the city and its surrounding natural attractions. The summer months, particularly December to February, are the warmest, with average temperatures ranging from 15°C to 20°C, superb for enjoying the beaches and coastal walks.

For those interested in the university atmosphere and events, the academic year typically runs from February to November.
