- Winter nights (May–August) get genuinely cold; bring a warm layer even though daytime sun can feel pleasant. Day-to-night temperature swings of 10–13°C (18–23°F) are typical.
- December–February expect frequent afternoon thunderstorms, not continuous rain. Showers are often heavy and brief.
- July is the driest but coldest month. If you plan outdoor activities, September–October or March–May offer the best compromise of warmth and dry conditions.
