Algeria's national averages run from 20 °C in January to 42 °C in July, with rainfall between 1 mm in July and 8 mm in March and 7.7–9.8 hours of sun a day. Against the default preferences (under 2.7 mm of rain a day, at least 6 hours of sun), the strongest months are March, November and April. Its 48 regions span 22–34 °C in annual mean temperature, so the national figure hides a good deal.
