So. Basically, tropical weather. To some extent, a discernable monsoon weather pattern.Ask a longstanding resident, and you'll hear that the year end, from about November to January, is the time of the monsoon rains. Perhaps it rains an entire week, or almost an entire week. Perhaps every single day will have some rain at some hour. Temperatures are comfortably cooler, and the air is thick with moisture. As the year turns towards June and the drier months... the humidity stays, naturally. Tropical zone, island and water... the humidity doesn't leave. And so, anyone who steps outdoors long enough sweats. Periods of rain, afternoon squalls, provide blessed cooling off periods. In the interim.. the subjective perception of weather gives rise to jokes like - 'could fry an egg on the pavement'. June is well known as the driest month, plenty of sunshine, good for laundry... and good business for ice-cream sellers and the public swimming pools, the various air-conditioned venues, the beaches where those with the time go and swim...
