The coastal climate is milder due to the marine breeze. It is also the most humid area of the country. However, in the north and west, the heat can be searing and rise above 30°C/48°F. In this permanent sunshine, the average temperature oscillates between 20°C/32°F and 26°C/42°F. The country is characterized by two distinct seasons.
