Climate overview
Temperature
Monthly mean temperature reaches its highest point at 22.6 °C in January and its lowest at 16.3 °C in July. These figures describe monthly averages, not daytime maximum temperatures, so they provide a useful broad comparison between the warmer and cooler parts of the year rather than a forecast of how warm an individual afternoon may feel. Across the calendar months, the unweighted mean of monthly mean temperatures is 19.7 °C; it is not a day-weighted annual average.
Rain
Mean daily rainfall is highest at 6.82 mm/day in January, while the lowest monthly mean is 1.15 mm/day in July. The figures are daily averages, not monthly rainfall totals, and lower average rainfall does not mean that every day in that month will be dry or indicate how frequently rain occurs. The unweighted mean across the monthly daily-rainfall means is 3.36 mm/day. It offers a compact year-round reference, but does not describe the timing or duration of individual rain events.
Sunshine
Mean daily sunshine duration is highest at 9.65 hours/day in December and lowest at 7.73 hours/day in June. These averages can help with broad outdoor-planning expectations, but sunshine duration is not the same as day length and cannot guarantee clear skies on a particular date.
