What the numbers say

September is the driest month, with rain on 13% of days and daytime highs near 15.0°C (59°F). April is the wettest, at 35%. Temperature swings hard across the year — 25.7°C between July (19.2°C / 67°F) and January (-6.5°C / 20°F) — so packing for the wrong month is the main risk. The record rules out too cold in Nov–Mar.
