Climate overview

Temperature

Monthly mean temperatures reach their highest point in July at 21.0 °C, while the lowest monthly mean is January at 2.7 °C. These are averages for each month, not daytime highs or lows, so day-to-day temperatures can differ from the figures. Across the calendar months, the unweighted mean of monthly means is 11.3 °C; it is not a day-weighted annual average.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall is highest in May at 2.32 mm/day. Its lowest monthly mean is February / March at 1.45 mm/day; the tied months share that reported value. The unweighted mean across monthly means is 1.85 mm/day. These are daily averages, not monthly totals, and they do not show how frequently rain falls or guarantee dry weather in the lower-average months.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine reaches its highest level in June / July at 12.00 hours/day, and its lowest in December at 2.66 hours/day. The unweighted mean of the monthly values is 7.67 hours/day.

Snow

The highest monthly mean daily snowfall is recorded in January at 2.80 mm/day, while the unweighted mean across monthly means is 0.64 mm/day. These daily averages do not establish the number of snowy days, snow depth, lasting snow cover or suitability for skiing.

If lower average rainfall is a priority, February / March is the conditional option to consider, with mean daily rainfall of 1.45 mm/day.

For preparing around the higher average, May records 2.32 mm/day of mean daily rainfall. For visitors prioritising cooler monthly mean temperatures, January has the lowest reported mean at 2.7 °C; pack with cool conditions in mind, while allowing for daily variation. The figures are monthly means rather than daytime forecasts, so they cannot specify the conditions for a particular outing. For outdoor sightseeing planned around average sunshine, June / July has the highest mean daily sunshine at 12.00 hours/day, whereas December has the lowest at 2.66 hours/day. Sunshine duration is not day length and cannot guarantee clear skies on your travel dates. These separate criteria may point to different choices; none establishes a universal best time to visit.

Snowfall averages are limited guidance for travel plans: the highest monthly mean daily amount is January at 2.80 mm/day. It does not tell you how many days will have snow, whether snow will settle or remain, or whether winter activities will be available, so avoid treating the average as a forecast.
