- Packing style

Clothing planning bands use the calculated mean daily maximum (5.44°C) and minimum (-2.68°C), rounded then expanded by 2°C each way. These are outfit prompts, not forecast limits or confidence intervals. Monthly values are calculated from NASA POWER MERRA-2 gridded daily data for 1991–2020 at the city coordinates. They represent a regional model cell, not a city weather station. Street shade, coastal exposure, elevation and urban warmth can differ. Climate averages do not predict an individual trip. Mean monthly precipitation is 51.76 mm, with 8 model days of at least 1 mm; precipitation includes water-equivalent snowfall. Complete daily records were checked before averaging all thirty years.
