It is perfect for sightseeing and outdoor activities. Average daily highs are around 22\u202f\u00b0C, while overnight lows typically range between 12\u201315\u202f\u00b0C. That said, the weather can change quickly, temperatures may spike to the mid-30s\u202f\u00b0C on hotter days, or dip to around 10\u202f\u00b0C with unexpected rainfall and summer storms.<\/p><p>When it comes to packing, our suggestion is to pack a variety of items to accommodate the changing weather. Bring light layers like T-shirts and a thin jumper, and a waterproof jacket is essential in case of late summer storms.
