The most popular months for visitors tend to be June, July and August, alongside December and January. In terms of climate, bear in mind that it can be a little unpredictable so far from any land mass, but generally speaking December to May is the sunniest period, although there will be some rain. Low season - June to November - brings slightly cooler temperatures, overcast skies and less rainfall. Divers prefer the cooler, cloudier period because the colder water brings even more diverse marine life to the islands.
