Variable	Observed range	Central range
Annual mean temperature	9.97 – 28.39	12.37 – 27.59
Temperature of the warmest month	15.37 – 40.85	16.27 – 39.89
Temperature of the coldest month	-2.59 – 25.17	-0.79 – 24.57

Precipitation seasonality	10.98 – 140.54	13.9 – 128.36

These values describe the documented climate envelope of the taxon. They are not, by themselves, a local recommendation.
