Wales tends to be wetter than England, and has slightly less sunshine. The coastal areas, however, can be very warm in summer. Conditions in upland areas can be dangerous and changeable at all times of the year. Wales has the sort of climate often described as "temperate". This means that it never gets very hot or very cold. May, June, July and August are the sunniest and driest months, but even in the winter a raincoat and sweater will usually cope with the worst that the weather has to offer. The average daily temperature in July is 16°C (60°F), and in January it is 6°C (42°F). Annual rainfall varies with elevation, ranging from about 760 mm (about 30 in) in certain coastal regions to more than 2,500 mm (more than 100 in) in the highlands.
