The period of time that goes from January to March are the rainy months, with March being the hottest month of the year. During this season plants abound, and the pleasant water temperature is perfect for marine sports. From July to September we observe lower precipitations and the islands are drier, but cooler, the sea temperature drops to a great extent, being the ideal season to see the oceanic life, since the animals have preference for the icy waters.
