Ten-year averages for this calendar month. A rainy day is one with at least 1 mm of rain, as a weather station counts it. The model these figures come from drizzles more than a rain gauge, the more so the warmer the month, so its days count from 2 mm, rising to 5 mm in the hottest.

Weather read at Governor's Harbour, 13 km from the airport (GHB): ten years of ERA5 and ERA5-Land reanalysis, through Open-Meteo's open data.

How busy it gets

What to pack

  • Summer clothes by day, highs around 28°C.
  • A packable rain jacket for the 7 or so rainy days.
  • Sun protection: about 10 hours of sunshine a day.
  • Humidity averages 75%; breathable fabrics dry faster.

Each line is a threshold over the ten-year figures above, not advice from anywhere else.
