Climate overview

Temperature

The coolest monthly mean is 9.4 °C in January, while the warmest is 30.6 °C in July. These are monthly averages rather than daytime maximum temperatures, so they describe the broad temperature character of each month, not the full range visitors may experience from day to day. Across the calendar-month means, the unweighted mean is 19.5 °C; it is not a day-weighted annual average.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall reaches its monthly high of 0.73 mm/day in November and its low of 0.03 mm/day in July. These figures are daily averages for the named months, not monthly rainfall totals, and they do not show how rainfall is distributed among individual days.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine is highest at 12.62 hours/day in June and lowest at 8.88 hours/day in December.
