Even in summer you can manage by adjusting your schedule: sleep in, swim after 4:30 PM until sunset, then walk around in the evening. Mid-September will be similar or slightly hotter during the day.

The heat typically starts to ease around mid-October, but it varies from year to year — sometimes earlier, sometimes later.

In August and early September, evenings are extremely humid — sweat literally drips off you, like being in a steam room. Most people adjust after a day or two. Best escape: air-conditioned bars or sitting near open venue doors where cold air flows out.

In winter (December–January) don't expect summer conditions: the sea can be rough, wind is common. It's warm while the sun is up (until around 4:30 PM), then cools down fast. No point going outside before 11 AM.
