Climate overview
Temperature
The coolest monthly mean is February at 14.1 °C, while the warmest is August at 21.9 °C. These figures describe average temperatures across each month, not typical daytime highs, so daily conditions may vary around them. The unweighted mean of the monthly temperature means is 17.5 °C. It offers a compact overview of the dataset, but is not a day-weighted annual average or a forecast for any particular date.
Rain
Mean daily rainfall reaches its highest monthly value in November at 2.59 mm/day; visitors around then may want rain protection available. Its lowest monthly mean is in August at 0.36 mm/day, a useful comparison for those prioritising lower average rainfall, but not a guarantee of dry days or a measure of how often rain falls. The unweighted mean across monthly daily-rainfall means is 1.73 mm/day. These are daily average amounts, not monthly totals, so they do not by themselves establish rainfall frequency or the conditions on a specific day.
Sunshine
Mean daily sunshine duration is highest in June at 12.51 hours/day and lowest in December at 7.78 hours/day. These monthly averages can help with outdoor daylight planning, but sunshine duration is not the same as day length and does not guarantee clear conditions on a given day. Across the calendar-month means, the unweighted average daily sunshine duration is 10.27 hours/day. This is a broad summary rather than a promise of the sunshine a visitor will experience on any particular date.

For visitors prioritising cooler monthly averages, February is the relevant option, with a monthly mean temperature of 14.1 °C; this does not indicate daytime highs or guarantee the conditions of an individual day.
