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.
January is the driest month, with rain on 26% of days and daytime highs near 2.2°C (36°F). June is the wettest, at 41%. Temperature swings hard across the year — 25.9°C between July (28.1°C / 83°F) and January (2.2°C / 36°F) — so packing for the wrong month is the main risk. The record rules out too cold in Dec–Jan.
