  Daytime eating places close and the city moves wholesale to after sunset: Burns Road working until three, traffic at two in the morning, offices on short hours. Sehri here is a meal out rather than a private one. Fuente ↗

• Riesgo

  Heat when the sea breeze drops

  1 May – 25 Jun · normalmenteCalor extremo

  The dangerous weeks are the ones the sea breeze fails and the humidity stays; the 2015 heatwave killed more than a thousand people in the city under exactly that pattern. Power cuts make indoors worse than out. Fuente ↗

  Eid al-Adha

  1 May – 5 Jun · normalmenteRamadán y EidCierresMucha genteReserva pronto

  Eid al-Adha brings three or more days of public holiday. Livestock markets spring up in the weeks before, many businesses close for the first days, and roads, buses and flights are packed as families travel home or take trips to the hills. Fuente ↗

  Urban flooding

  1 Jul – 31 Ago · normalmenteTemporada de inundaciones

  A single heavy spell puts the underpasses and half the main arteries under water and takes the grid down with them. Drainage in the older districts cannot cope, and people are stranded for hours rather than minutes. Fuente ↗

  Green turtles come ashore at Sandspit and Hawke's Bay through these months and the wildlife department runs hatchling releases after dark. It happens twenty minutes from a city of twenty million, which is the remarkable part.

  The sea breeze steadies, the wedding season starts and the city eats outdoors again. Beach huts at Hawke's Bay are gone by Thursday for the weekend, and it is the only stretch when walking anywhere is reasonable.
