What the averages hide

Averages flatten a month, and this one hides a few things: 4 days top 30 °C — hot spells arrive, but they break. Across the twenty years measured, the hottest August day reached 37.3 °C and the coldest night fell to 10 °C, and the wettest single day dropped 27 mm — roughly 64% of the month's rain in one day.

August is moderately variable: 16 mm in the driest year against 110 mm in the wettest, around an average of 42 mm. Roughly two Augusts in three land near that average, and the third does something else entirely.

Wind is light at 6.2 km/h, so the temperature on the page is close to the temperature on your skin, and humidity is unremarkable at 73%.
