The monthly tables above are the practical planning tool: mild highs and lows land in the shoulder seasons, August-driven heat peaks in summer, and January-driven cold sets in over deep winter. These are thirty-year averages, not a forecast - any single year can run warmer, wetter, drier, or cooler than the normal.
