• Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.

About 886 mm (35 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; Jun is the wettest month (138 mm) and Jan the driest (21 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
