Climate overview

Temperature

Monthly mean temperatures peak in July at 25.0 °C, with the lowest monthly mean in December at 8.3 °C. The unweighted mean across the calendar months is 16.9 °C; it is not a day-weighted annual average. These monthly means describe the overall temperature level for each month, not daytime maximum temperatures, and cannot show how much temperatures vary from day to day.

Rain

Mean daily rainfall is highest in December at 3.87 mm/day. By contrast, the lowest monthly mean is shared by July / August, at 0.02 mm/day. The unweighted mean of the calendar-month means is 1.50 mm/day, not a monthly total or a day-weighted annual average. These averages indicate differences in typical daily amounts, but do not establish how often rain falls or guarantee dry or wet conditions on a given day.

Sunshine

Average daily sunshine is greatest in July at 13.43 hours/day, and lowest in December at 5.93 hours/day. The unweighted mean across calendar months is 10.04 hours/day. These figures describe mean sunshine duration, not daylight length, and monthly averages cannot guarantee the sunshine available on a particular day.

Snow

The highest monthly mean daily snowfall is recorded in February at 0.19 mm/day. The unweighted mean across calendar months is 0.02 mm/day. These are average daily amounts; they do not establish how many days have snowfall, snow depth or snow cover, and cannot indicate skiing conditions.

Pack with the wettest monthly average in mind as well: December has mean daily rainfall of 3.87 mm/day, so flexible plans and suitable rain protection are sensible. Those who prefer cooler monthly averages may favour December, when the monthly mean is 8.3 °C; this is not a daytime maximum or a promise of specific daily conditions.
