Tunisia's national averages run from 16 °C in January to 38 °C in July, with rainfall between 2 mm in July and 22 mm in December and 5.9–10.0 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 April, May and October. Its 23 regions span 22–29 °C in annual mean temperature, so the national figure hides a good deal.
