What the numbers say

November is the driest month, with rain on 21% of days and daytime highs near 11.0°C (52°F). June is the wettest, at 42%. Temperature swings hard across the year — 28.9°C between August (31.6°C / 89°F) and January (2.7°C / 37°F) — so packing for the wrong month is the main risk. The record rules out too cold in Dec–Jan.
