What the numbers say

April is the driest month, with rain on 30% of days and daytime highs near 14.1°C (57°F). July is the wettest, at 47%. Temperature swings hard across the year — 24.1°C between August (25.3°C / 78°F) and January (1.2°C / 34°F) — so packing for the wrong month is the main risk. The record rules out too cold in Dec–Feb.
