What the numbers say

July is the driest month, with rain on 2% of days and daytime highs near 38.0°C (100°F). March is the wettest, at 22%. Temperature swings hard across the year — 20.3°C between July (38.0°C / 100°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 Jun–Aug.
