For visitors prioritising cooler monthly averages, January is the relevant option: its monthly mean temperature is 4.5 °C. This average does not predict the temperature on a particular day, so check the forecast close to travel and pack for variable conditions. If lower average rainfall is a priority, April is the conditional option, with mean daily rainfall of 1.36 mm/day. It does not guarantee dry days or show how frequently rain occurs, so a light rain layer remains useful; for rain preparation, note that the highest monthly mean daily rainfall is in October, at 2.70 mm/day.
For outdoor sightseeing planned around average sunshine, July has the highest mean daily duration, 10.73 hours/day, while December has the lowest, 2.91 hours/day.
