The best month has moved. On the 1961–1990 numbers the strongest month here was August (scoring 63); on 2011–2025 it is September (45). Both are scored the same way, from the same station — only the climate underneath changed.

A warm and dry day reaches 20°C with under 1 mm of rain; a wet day gets 1 mm or more; a washout gets 10 mm or more. The week column is the share of seven-day stretches in that month, across the station’s whole daily record, that contained three or more wet days — the odds a week-long trip is rained on repeatedly, counted rather than modelled. The last column is the 10th to 90th percentile of that month’s daytime average across individual years: a narrow band means the average is what you will get, a wide one means the average is a midpoint between years that felt quite different.

1971Each stripe is one year’s mean temperature against the 50-year average. Warmest: 2024. Coolest: 1976.2024

Station distance: 2.3 km from the place centre
Climate period: 1991–2020
Minimum month coverage: 26 usable years

Sea temperature: NOAA OISST v2.1 1991–2020 monthly climatology, nearest open water 15 km from the place centre. A sheltered bay can run warmer than the open sea it is measured from.
Important limit: Historical climate is not a forecast. Nearby stations can miss mountains, coasts, and local microclimates.

These places read the same station, so their numbers are identical — distance from HIHIFO (ILE WALLIS) is what differs
