Climate overview
Temperature
The coolest monthly mean is in January, at 6.0 °C, while the warmest is in July, at 25.4 °C. These are averages across each month, not daytime maximum temperatures, so they describe the broad temperature pattern rather than the range visitors may encounter within a day. The unweighted mean of the monthly means is 15.1 °C; it is not a day-weighted annual average.
Rain
Mean daily rainfall is lowest in July, at 1.15 mm/day, and highest in November, at 5.06 mm/day. These are daily means for the respective months, not monthly rainfall totals, and they do not show how often rain falls or guarantee dry or wet days. Across the monthly means, the unweighted figure is 2.79 mm/day.
Sunshine
Average daily sunshine reaches its highest level in July, at 13.00 hours/day, and its lowest in December, at 5.30 hours/day. The unweighted mean across the monthly figures is 9.08 hours/day. These durations can help with broad outdoor-planning expectations, but sunshine hours are not the same as day length and do not promise clear skies on a particular date.
Snow
The highest monthly mean daily snowfall is recorded in February, at 1.12 mm/day; the unweighted mean across monthly figures is 0.19 mm/day. These snowfall averages do not establish how many days have snow, snow depth or snow cover, and they cannot indicate whether conditions are suitable for skiing.

If cooler monthly mean temperatures are your priority, consider January, when the monthly mean is 6.0 °C.
