Temperatures range from a pleasant 17°C in mid-winter to 34°C in mid-summer, with little to no rainfall between May and September. Record highs reaching 47°C and the lowest recorded temperature at 6°C.

Winters can be crisp, with temperatures averaging 5°C, while summers bring a comfortable warmth of around 30°C. The wetter months fall between December and March, whereas from May to October, rainfall is almost nonexistent, allowing for clear skies and uninterrupted exploration.
