In the north, weather patterns feature high temperatures and daily heavy rains. Trekking is not advised due to high rainfall.\",\"north\":\"Hot, humid, and rainy (30\u201335\u00b0C).

Be mindful of the central coast which can still see late-season rains.\",\"north\":\"Cool and clear (18\u201324\u00b0C).
