What the numbers say

June is the driest month, with rain on 0% of days and daytime highs near 40.2°C (104°F). January is the wettest, at 9%. Temperature swings hard across the year — 24.3°C between August (42.0°C / 108°F) and January (17.7°C / 64°F) — so packing for the wrong month is the main risk. The record rules out too hot in May–Oct.
