Winter (November to February, shoulder season) is generally the most comfortable time to visit, with many regions seeing daytime temperatures around 15–25 °C (59–77 °F) and cooler evenings. Spring and autumn (March to May, and October, shoulder season) bring warming temperatures, often around 20–30 °C (68–86 °F), and are popular for outdoor activities before and after the hottest months. Summer (June to September, peak season in some coastal resorts but low season for many inland cities) can be very hot, with daytime temperatures frequently above 35–45 °C (95–113 °F), so travellers often plan more indoor and evening activities.
