Monthly weather and packing notes
June needs light clothes, water and sun protection for longer street routes. Put a museum visit into the hotter part of the day, and carry a thin church-appropriate shirt rather than a heavy jacket solely for coverage.
- Daytime
- 23–27°C
- Evenings
- 11–15°C
- Rain
- Showers possible
- Daylight
- Long summer days; use shade for the hottest afternoon stretch.
- Packing style
- Breathable clothes and a separate evening layer
Clothing planning bands use the calculated mean daily maximum (25.17°C) and minimum (13.29°C), rounded then expanded by 2°C each way. These are outfit prompts, not forecast limits or confidence intervals. Monthly values are calculated from NASA POWER MERRA-2 gridded daily data for 1991–2020 at the city coordinates. They represent a regional model cell, not a city weather station. Street shade, coastal exposure, elevation and urban warmth can differ. Climate averages do not predict an individual trip. Mean monthly precipitation is 50.53 mm, with 9 model days of at least 1 mm; precipitation includes water-equivalent snowfall. Complete daily records were checked before averaging all thirty years.
