Climate overview
Temperature
The coolest monthly mean temperature occurs in January, at 21.6 °C. At the other end of the range, April has the highest monthly mean, 31.4 °C. These figures describe average temperatures over each month, not typical daytime maximums, so they should not be read as a ceiling on warmer daytime conditions. The unweighted mean of the monthly temperature means is 27.2 °C. It provides a broad summary across calendar months, rather than a day-weighted annual average or a guide to the temperature on any specific visit date.
Rain
February records the lowest monthly mean daily rainfall, at 0.10 mm/day, while the highest occurs in September, at 7.20 mm/day. The latter is a useful point of reference when preparing for rain, but these daily averages do not show how often rain falls or guarantee wet or dry conditions on a particular day. The unweighted mean across the monthly daily-rainfall means is 3.29 mm/day. This is a summary of the monthly averages, not a monthly rainfall total.
Sunshine
Mean daily sunshine duration reaches its highest monthly average in May, at 11.06 hours/day; the lowest is in August, at 8.29 hours/day. These values can help with planning for outdoor time, but sunshine duration is not the same as day length and does not specify the conditions on an individual day. The unweighted mean of the monthly sunshine-duration means is 9.74 hours/day per day. Treat this as a broad calendar-month summary rather than a promise of uninterrupted sunshine during a visit.
