Climate overview
Temperature
Monthly mean temperatures range from 17.1 °C in August to 22.8 °C in February; these are averages for each month, not daytime maximum temperatures. The unweighted mean across the calendar-month means is 19.8 °C, a broad summary rather than a day-weighted annual average. For visit planning, the monthly means can help identify the cooler or warmer part of the annual pattern, but they do not describe daily highs, overnight lows, or short-term changes.
Rain
Mean daily rainfall is highest in February at 3.55 mm/day and lowest in November at 1.69 mm/day. The unweighted mean of the monthly daily means is 2.44 mm/day; these figures are daily averages, not monthly rainfall totals. The lower monthly mean can be a useful criterion for visitors prioritising less average rainfall, while the higher one is a reason to prepare for wet-weather possibilities. Neither figure tells you how often rain falls or guarantees dry or wet days.
Sunshine
Mean daily sunshine ranges from 8.12 hours/day in June to 11.48 hours/day in November. Across calendar-month means, the unweighted average is 9.87 hours/day per day. The monthly pattern may help with planning outdoor sightseeing around average sunshine, but it cannot predict cloud or sunshine on a particular date; these durations also measure sunshine, not day length.

For daylight outdoor planning, mean daily sunshine is lowest in June at 8.12 hours/day and highest in November at 11.48 hours/day.
