How “ideal” is decided
“Ideal” months are the comfortable, mostly dry ones: warm but not scorching, outside monsoon, hurricane and cyclone seasons, and outside freezing winters. “Good” months are a step behind, often with a few more showers or a bit more heat, but usually fewer crowds and lower prices. Big countries have many climates, so the note on each card points out where it differs.
