 Climate

Winter: The coastal areas really do not have what most people would classify as a winter. With minimum overnight temperatures rarely getting below 10 degrees Celsius. This makes the weather ideal  in the far north for most visitors between May and October which is the dry season. The dry season along with the low humidity and cool breeze makes it pleasurable for all activities. 
Summer: Is between November and April, which is the wet season with tropical rainfalls caused by the monsoons.  The wet season brings with it the splendour of the waterfalls in full swing and the fast raging rivers.
