"Avg high"/"Avg low" is the mean daily high/low for that month, averaged across every year on file. The "record" figure alongside it is a different statistic — the single hottest (or coldest) hour ever recorded during that month across all years — so it can sit above or below the average and does not describe the average's year-to-year spread. A "wet day" is any day with at least 1.0mm of rain.

Limitations
A model reconstruction, not a station observation — hyper-local extremes (a single storm cell, an urban heat pocket) can differ from a nearby gauge. See the full methodology.
