Summer afternoons are hot with intense sunshine, although mornings are pleasantly cool, while winter mornings are frigid even though all but 14.2 afternoons top freezing in an average year.

The wettest month since record began has been October 2006 with 3.80 inches or 96.5 millimetres, the wettest calendar year 1965 with 14.28 inches or 362.7 millimetres, and the driest 1956 with 3.87 inches or 98.3 millimetres.
