A consolidated reference for Gent climate: monthly averages, rebuilt from public data on a schedule. Expect 2.9 C at the coldest (Jan) and 18.2 C at the warmest (Jul) — a 15.3 C spread. Expect a wet month and a dry month but no real season: 2.61 mm/day in Aug against 1.28 mm/day in Apr. Taken together that is roughly 776 mm of rain a year for the grid cell. The build runs on a schedule and caches the last good response, so the numbers stay put even when the upstream API is having a bad day.

What the Gent climate table shows
Values are multi-decadal climatological averages for the 51.05, 3.71667 grid cell, not a single year. Rain is the daily mean, so a value of 2.00 mm/day is about 60 mm across a 30-day month. Averages smooth over extremes, so use them for planning rather than for what to pack for next Tuesday.
Frequently asked questions
Why do the numbers differ from a weather app?
An app shows one location on one day. These are long-run averages, so they smooth out single hot or cold spells.
How much rain is 2.61 mm/day in a month?
Rain is recorded as a daily mean, so 2.61 mm/day is roughly 79 mm across a 30-day month.
