The
area enjoys a dry desert climate that is neither humid nor oppressive, which
makes it an ideal environment. There are hardly any mosquitoes. The area is
always dry and sunny, rain is very rare. The winter months from December to
the end of February are more prone to the wind than the summer, however the
wind doesn’t last for more than few hours.

From
mid October to April the nights and early mornings can be cold and
temperatures might drop to 8°C, so remember to bring warm clothes and a warm
sleeping bag. During the day, temperatures climb again to over 25°C.

The
day temperatures from April to June are similar to warm summer in Europe. In the middle of the day, temperatures average about 30°C but can reach 35°C+. The
hottest months are August and September when the temperature can reach 40°C.
On the lake the temperature is always a few degrees lower due to the cooling
effect of a large body of water.
