What the numbers say

September is the driest month, with rain on 34% of days and daytime highs near 16.8°C (62°F). June is the wettest, at 51%. Temperature swings hard across the year — 27.0°C between July (22.3°C / 72°F) and January (-4.7°C / 24°F) — so packing for the wrong month is the main risk. The record rules out too cold in Nov–Mar.
