During the oppressive summer months, the average daily temperature climbs to 34.7°C (94.5°F), with daily highs peaking at an average of 39.8°C (103.6°F). Extreme heat waves can push temperatures even higher, though they rarely exceed 41.8°C (107.2°F). In contrast, the mild winters offer substantial relief, where the average daily temperature drops to 21.2°C (70.2°F). The coldest nights typically see lows around 16.8°C (62.2°F), creating a pleasant atmosphere compared to the mid-year extremes.
