To ensure you still go home with a good tan try to avoid the intense 'mid-day' sun between 11.00am and 2.00pm and always use a high protection sun cream, even on overcast days. Build your tan slowly - there's plenty of time. Rainfall is modest when compared with the rest of the region with slightly wetter conditions in the hills. Sat 8.00am - 12.30pm.
