Climate:
Summer - the temperature varies from 15 degrees at night to 41 degrees C in the heat of the day. Winter - the temperature varies from night to day. Generally the winter days are pleasant with the nights being cold enough for winter woollies.
What to Take:
October to March: Summer Clothes. Frequent rain showers, which come about very quickly, which makes it sensible to have a brolley or raincoat close at hand. There is a pool and you may well appreciate a swim in the heat of summer so bring a swimming costume. Light comfortable clothing is advised with just about everywhere accepting a smart/casual dress style.
April to September: it is too cold to swim and you should pad up and carry sufficient warm clothing especially for the evenings and sleepwear. Jerseys and jackets will definitely be required through out the winter season.
