What the numbers say

August is the driest month, with rain on 10% of days and daytime highs near 33.4°C (92°F). April is the wettest, at 32%. Temperature swings hard across the year — 28.3°C between July (34.6°C / 94°F) and January (6.3°C / 43°F) — so packing for the wrong month is the main risk. The record rules out too hot in Jul–Aug.
