Climate overview

Temperature

January has the lowest monthly mean temperature, 0.9 °C, while the highest monthly mean is August at 26.3 °C. These values describe average temperatures for their respective months, not daytime maximum temperatures, and individual days may differ from the monthly pattern. Across the calendar-month means, the unweighted mean temperature is 13.6 °C. It is a summary of monthly means rather than a day-weighted annual average, so it should be read alongside the monthly extremes.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall reaches its monthly high in July at 4.79 mm/day. This average can help set expectations for rain preparation, but it does not establish how often rain falls or guarantee the amount on a particular day. The lowest mean daily rainfall occurs in December, at 0.31 mm/day; this may suit visitors prioritising lower average rainfall, though it is not a promise of dry weather. The unweighted mean across monthly daily-rainfall means is 1.78 mm/day, not a monthly rainfall total.

Sunshine

Mean daily sunshine is highest in June at 9.68 hours/day, a useful reference for visitors planning outdoor time around average sunshine duration. This is not the same as daylight length and does not guarantee sunshine on a given day. The lowest mean daily sunshine is November at 6.83 hours/day. Across the calendar months, the unweighted mean of daily sunshine means is 8.54 hours/day; these averages describe duration, not the timing or reliability of sunny spells.

Snow

Mean daily snowfall is highest in February at 0.91 mm/day. The unweighted mean across monthly daily-snowfall means is 0.16 mm/day. These figures record average snowfall amounts only; they do not indicate the number of snowy days, snow depth, snow cover, or skiing conditions.
