Packtricia calculated June Ptuj-area ERA5 reanalysis averages via Open-Meteo for 1991–2020: mean daily high 24.9°C, mean daily low 14.9°C and mean monthly precipitation 107.2mm. Thirty complete year-months contribute equally using daily high/low means and precipitation sums. Requested coordinates 46.42,15.87 returned grid 46.5,15.75 at 246m model elevation. These regional lowland estimates are not Ptuj station normals or forecasts. Display bands extend rounded means by 2°C each way and do not bound extremes. Rain totals are not wet-day probabilities. Frost, storms, high river levels and visitor access need separate actual-date checks.
