The average temperature nationwide during this month hovers between 27C and 34C (81F and 93F).
Understanding the prevailing climatic conditions during this month is crucial for various sectors. Agriculture benefits from the predictable dry spell, enabling farmers to plan harvests and prepare for the upcoming wet season. Tourism thrives, as the pleasant weather attracts both domestic and international visitors seeking outdoor activities and beach getaways. Moreover, awareness of the heat and potential dryness allows for effective resource management, particularly water conservation strategies. Historically, this period has been important for cultural celebrations and festivals tied to the harvest season.
