Climate overview

Temperature

January has the lowest monthly mean temperature, at 5.0 °C, while July has the highest, at 27.2 °C. These are monthly mean conditions rather than daytime maximum temperatures, so they do not show how warm or cool an individual afternoon or night may be. The unweighted mean across monthly temperature means is 15.1 °C; it is a summary of the calendar-month means, not a day-weighted annual average.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall is lowest in July, at 0.24 mm/day, and highest in October, at 2.02 mm/day. The figures indicate average daily amounts, not monthly totals, and do not say how often rain falls or guarantee dry weather in the lower-average month. Across the calendar months, the unweighted mean of those monthly daily-rainfall means is 1.22 mm/day.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine reaches its highest monthly value in July, at 13.26 hours/day, and its lowest in December, at 6.02 hours/day. These averages can help with planning around typical daylight outdoor conditions, but sunshine duration is not the same as day length and cannot predict the sky on a particular day. The unweighted mean of the monthly sunshine means is 9.70 hours/day per day.

Snow

The highest monthly mean daily snowfall is recorded in January, at 1.25 mm/day; the unweighted mean of monthly snowfall means is 0.15 mm/day. These are average daily amounts, not monthly totals.

If lower average rainfall is a priority, July is the conditional option, with mean daily rainfall of 0.24 mm/day. This average does not guarantee rain-free days or indicate rain frequency, so it is still sensible to check forecasts close to travel. For rain preparation, note that October has the highest monthly mean daily rainfall, at 2.02 mm/day; a light waterproof layer or compact umbrella may be useful. For visitors who prefer cooler monthly averages, January is the relevant reference point, with a monthly mean temperature of 5.0 °C. That figure is not a daytime maximum and does not describe the range of conditions within the month, so flexible layers are more dependable than planning around the average alone. For outdoor sightseeing and sunshine-based planning, July records the highest mean daily sunshine at 13.26 hours/day, while December records the lowest at 6.02 hours/day; these durations do not represent day length or guarantee clear skies.
