A dry day reaching 20°C records under 1 mm of rain. A wet day records at least 1 mm, while a heavy-rain day records at least 10 mm. The weekly figure is the share of seven-day periods containing three or more wet days. The final column shows the middle 80% of average daytime highs recorded for that month in individual years; a wider range means conditions have varied more from one year to another.
