Typical conditions, not a forecast. Local coastlines and mountain elevations can differ.

Humidity: muggy days include muggy, oppressive and miserable conditions. The full category split is unavailable.

Sky & daylight: clearer skies include partly cloudy weather. Daylight is time between sunrise and sunset, not sunshine hours.

Rain & snow: rainfall and snowfall describe a typical 31-day period. Rainy days count rain alone; wet days also include snow or mixed precipitation. A dash or “Not available” means an unknown value, not zero.
