The rainy season begins in Springtime. I had rain, but it wasn't bad, more like a steady mist. Occasional downpours which were a howl to ride through.
Avoid the police at all costs. They will steal things, and try and force you from inexpensive guest housing/rooms into expensive hotels where they get a cut.
