Summer (December–February) averages 25–30°C but can spike above 40°C during northerly heat events. These extreme heat days occasionally cause ground crew restrictions.

Winter (June–August) is cool at 7–14°C with rain and low cloud. Fog-related delays are occasional but not severe. Thunderstorms are most common October through March. Pack layers year-round. The weather changes rapidly. Disruption risk is low by global standards.
