Summer starts in the month of June. The months of July and August are the hottest, recording an average high of 32 degrees. In spite of being hot and humid, summer is the peak season for tourism. Summers experience torrential rain quite frequently. Summer is the peak tourist season, but is hot and oppressive, as the humidity makes it almost impossible for people not used to the environment to breathe properly. Clothes tend to get fairly wet after minutes of walking.

In Summer, often during a year, the city experiences a few spells of typhoon. The cyclone inflicts a considerable amount of damage to the city.

Spring starts in March. The weather in spring, although considered the most beautiful season, is highly variable, with frequent rain and alternating spells of warmth and cold.
