The weather is typically sunny and warm, with temperatures often in the high 20s or low 30s Celsius. This is prime time for houseboating, water skiing, fishing, and swimming. The lake is at its most active, with most services and businesses fully operational. This period is particularly good for families looking for a classic summer holiday by the water.For travellers looking for a more relaxed trip with pleasant weather but fewer crowds, the shoulder seasons of May and September are excellent.
