Perfect weather is subjective. On this map perfect weather has been defined with temperatures between 20°C (68°F) and 29°C (84°F) and not too much precipitation (less than 90 mm (3.5 in) a month).
Warm weather calls for comfortable, breathable clothing in January. Cotton t-shirts, shorts, light dresses, and sandals are perfect. You might still want a light layer for evenings or air-conditioned places (for example buses). Almost no rain is expected, so no need to bring rain gear. Expect water temperatures of around 28°C (82°F), which is ideal for taking a refreshing dip. Bring swimwear and consider packing a towel for drying off. Don't forget sun protection, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat. These are all good ideas with this much sunshine.
