|  Weather

with relatively little variation throughout the year. May
is the hottest month with average highs in the low
90's, while
November through February are the coolest months
of the year with daytime temperatures averaging in
the
low 80's. Temperatures seldom exceed 100 degrees or
fall below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. And
because

doesn't vary much throughout the year. You can figure

much throughout the year.
