Verdict combines mean daytime high with rainy-day frequency. “Rainy days” is the share of days in the month with at least 1 mm of rain.
July is the driest month, with rain on 17% of days and daytime highs near 25.9°C (79°F). April is the wettest, at 85%. Temperature barely moves all year — just 3.1°C between the warmest and coolest months — so rainfall, not heat, decides when to go. The record rules out too wet in Mar–May, Oct–Jan.
