Where these figures come from & how we choose months
NASA POWER modelled area climatology, January 2001–December 2020, retrieved 28 September 2026. This is historical climate guidance, not a forecast or a measurement at the venue. The area query is centred at 45.000° N, 0.000° E; the meteorological grid is about 0.5° × 0.625°. Elevation, coast and local shelter can change conditions substantially.
We select the three months with the lowest score: distance of the monthly mean from 20°C, plus twice the average daily precipitation in millimetres. This is an editorial preference for mild, relatively dry conditions, not an official wedding-season rating. Monthly precipitation is mean mm/day multiplied by calendar days, using 28 for February. Always plan an indoor alternative.
View the original NASA POWER data ↗Compare summer with May and September
July has the warmest June–August mean in this area dataset, at 21.9°C. For a different seasonal comparison, look at September: its mean is 18.5°C, with about 47 mm of rain over the month.
| Month | Day-and-night mean | Monthly rain |
|---|---|---|
| May | 15.4°C | 74 mm |
| June | 19.6°C | 61 mm |
| July | 21.9°C | 47 mm |
| August | 21.9°C | 49 mm |
| September | 18.5°C | 47 mm |
| October | 14.2°C | 67 mm |
For warmer dates, ask about shade and cooling. For cooler dates, ask about evening shelter and heating. Neither a lower monthly rainfall total nor a suggested month removes the need for an indoor plan.
Calculated from the NASA POWER area data credited in the chart above. These are historical averages, not forecasts, daytime highs or availability.
