Climate overview
Temperature
Monthly mean temperatures reach their lowest point at 1.7 °C in January, then their highest at 26.4 °C in August. These figures describe the average temperature for each month, not typical daytime highs, so they do not show the range visitors may experience from day to day. The unweighted mean across the calendar-month temperature means is 14.1 °C; it summarizes the monthly averages without weighting months by their number of days.
Rain
Mean daily rainfall is highest at 7.95 mm/day in July and lowest at 1.11 mm/day in December. These daily averages can help frame expectations for rain preparation, but they do not indicate how often rain falls or guarantee dry or wet conditions on a particular day. The unweighted mean of the monthly daily-rainfall means is 3.76 mm/day, not a monthly rainfall total or a day-weighted annual average.
Sunshine
Mean daily sunshine duration is greatest at 9.97 hours/day in May and least at 7.41 hours/day in September. The unweighted mean across monthly figures is 8.43 hours/day. Sunshine duration can inform outdoor planning, but it is not the same as day length and does not promise clear skies on any individual day.
Snow
Mean daily snowfall reaches its highest monthly figure at 0.78 mm/day in March, while the unweighted mean across monthly figures is 0.11 mm/day. These averages describe snowfall amounts, not the number of snowy days, snow depth or snow cover, and do not establish skiing conditions.

For daylight outdoor planning, mean daily sunshine is highest in May at 9.97 hours/day and lowest in September at 7.41 hours/day. These figures describe average sunshine duration, not day length or the certainty of sunshine on a given day, so they offer a planning reference rather than a forecast. The highest supplied mean daily snowfall is 0.78 mm/day in March. That amount alone cannot tell you whether snow will fall during a visit or establish snow cover, so it should not be used as a guide to skiing conditions.
