What the numbers say

June is the driest month, with rain on 0% of days and daytime highs near 37.0°C (99°F). January is the wettest, at 32%. Temperature swings hard across the year — 21.2°C between July (39.0°C / 102°F) and January (17.8°C / 64°F) — so packing for the wrong month is the main risk. The record rules out too hot in May–Sep.
