Climate overview
Temperature
Monthly mean temperatures are highest in September, at 24.5 °C. The lowest monthly mean is shared by June / July, at 23.2 °C, so the figures describe a fairly narrow range in monthly averages; they are not daytime maximum temperatures. Across the calendar months, the unweighted mean of the monthly mean temperatures is 23.8 °C. This summarizes the monthly averages without weighting them by the number of days in each month.
Rain
Mean daily rainfall is highest in April, at 11.21 mm/day, and lowest in July, at 0.75 mm/day. These are daily mean amounts for the respective months, not monthly totals, and they do not indicate how frequently rain occurs or guarantee dry weather in the lower-rainfall month. The unweighted mean of the monthly mean daily rainfall values is 4.70 mm/day. It provides a broad annual reference, but does not describe the rainfall on a particular day.
Sunshine
Mean daily sunshine duration reaches its highest monthly value in June, at 10.70 hours/day, while its lowest monthly value occurs in November, at 9.04 hours/day. These averages can help with broad outdoor planning, but sunshine duration is not the same as day length. The unweighted mean of the monthly mean sunshine durations is 9.88 hours/day per day, a summary of monthly averages rather than a guarantee of sunshine on any given day.
