OK, let's start with

Hot...Between May and October it is virtually sunshine all the way with very little rain. In July and August it can be very humid and at night it is very sticky.

As you can imagine, work in the Summer varies from one year to the next. It is impossible to point you in any direction, but what we would recommend that you come out on a cheap package towards the end of April and look around for work - and accommodation - while you are here. If you get fixed up then stay. If not, just enjoy the holiday!
