What the numbers say

October is the driest month, with rain on 29% of days and daytime highs near 13.1°C (56°F). July is the wettest, at 44%. Temperature swings hard across the year — 26.1°C between July (25.3°C / 78°F) and January (-0.8°C / 31°F) — so packing for the wrong month is the main risk. The record rules out too cold in Dec–Feb.
