Average High And Low Temperature

Figure 2.2 Average High and Low Temperature

The figure 2.2 Average High and Low Temperature shows you a compact characterization of the entire year of hourly
average temperatures. The horizontal axis is the day of the year, the vertical axis is the hour of the day, and the color
is the average temperature for that hour and day. The daily average high (red line) and low (blue line) temperature,
with 25th to 75th and 10th to 90th percentile bands. The thin dotted lines are the corresponding average perceived
temperatures.

months, ending around April 24. On February 28, the clearest day of the year, the sky is clear, mostly clear, or partly
cloudy 52% of the time, and overcast or mostly cloudy 48% of the time.The cloudier part of the year begins

Daily Chance of Precipitation

Figure 2.5 Daily Chance of Precipitation

The Figure 2.5 Daily Chance of Precipitation A wet day is one with at least 0.04 inches of liquid or liquid-equivalent
precipitation. The chance of wet days in Calatagan varies very significantly throughout the year.The wetter
season lasts 5.5 months, from May 21 to November 6, with a greater than 36% chance of a given day being a wet
day. The chance of a wet day peaks at 63% on August 12.The drier season lasts 6.5 months, from November
6 to May 21. The smallest chance of a wet day is 8% on March 27.Among wet days, we distinguish between those
that experience rain alone, snow alone, or a mixture of the two. Based on this categorization, the most common form
of precipitation throughout the year is rain alone, with a peak probability of 63% on August 12.
 Average Monthly Rainfall

The average rainfall (solid line) accumulated over the course of a sliding 31-day period centered on the day in
question, with 25th to 75th and 10th to 90th percentile bands. The thin dotted line is the corresponding average liquid-
equivalent snowfall

.Figure 2.6 Average Monthly Rainfall

To show variation within the months and not just the monthly totals, we show the rainfall accumulated over a sliding
31-day period centered around each day of the year. Calatagan experiences extreme seasonal variation in monthly
rainfall.Rain falls throughout the year in Calatagan. The most rain falls during the 31 days centered around August 6,
with an average total accumulation of 12.7 inches.The least rain falls around January 30, with an average total
accumulation of 0.7 inches.

Hours of Daylight and Twilight

The number of hours during which the Sun is visible (black line). From bottom (most yellow) to top (most gray), the
color bands indicate: full daylight, twilight (civil, nautical, and astronomical), and full night.

Figure 2.7 Hours of Daylight and Twilight

The length of the day in Calatagan varies over the course of the year. In 2018, the shortest day is December 22,
with 11 hours, 19 minutes of daylight; the longest day is June 21, with 12 hours, 57 minutes of daylight.
 Sunrise & Sunset with Twilight

The solar day over the course of the year 2018. From bottom to top, the black lines are the previous solar midnight, sunrise, solar noon, sunset,
and the next solar midnight. The day, twilights (civil, nautical, and astronomical), and night are indicated by the color bands from yellow to gray.

Figure 2.8 Sunrise & Sunset with Twilight

The earliest sunrise of the month in Calatagan is 5:28 AM on June 2 and the latest sunrise is 4 minutes later at 5:33
AM on June 30.The earliest sunset is 6:21 PM on June 1 and the latest sunset is 7 minutes later at 6:29 PM on June
30.Daylight saving time is not observed in Calatagan during 2018.For reference, on June 21, the longest day of the
year, the Sun rises at 5:30 AM and sets 12 hours, 57 minutes later, at 6:27 PM, while on December 21, the shortest
day of the year, it rises at 6:15 AM and sets 11 hours, 19 minutes later, at 5:34 PM.

Humidity Comfort Levels in June

The percentage of time spent at various humidity comfort levels, categorized by dew
point: dry < 55°F < comfortable < 60°F < humid < 65°F < muggy < 70°F < oppressive < 75°F < miserable.

Figure 2.9 Humidity Comfort Levels in June

We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the
skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike
temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so
while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night.The chance that a given
day will be muggy in Calatagan is essentially constant during June, remaining around 100% throughout.For
reference, on March 23, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 100% of the time, while
on January 16, the least muggy day of the year, there are muggy conditions 100% of the time.

Average Wind Speed in June

The average of mean hourly wind speeds (dark gray line), with 25th to 75th and 10th to 90th percentile bands.

Figure 2.10 Average Wind Speed in June

The average hourly wind speed in Calatagan is increasing during June, increasing from 7.0 miles per hour to 8.2
miles per hourover the course of the month.For reference, on December 19, the windiest day of the year, the daily
average wind speed is 12.5 miles per hour, while on May 16, the calmest day of the year, the daily average wind
speed is 6.8 miles per hour.
 Wind Direction in June

The percentage of hours in which the mean wind direction is from each of the four cardinal wind directions (north, east, south, and west),
excluding hours in which the mean wind speed is less than 1 mph. The lightly tinted areas at the boundaries are the percentage of hours spent
in the implied intermediate directions (northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest).

Figure 2.11 Wind Direction in June

This section discusses the wide-area hourly average wind vector (speed and direction) at 10 meters above the
ground. The wind experienced at any given location is highly dependent on local topography and other factors, and
instantaneous wind speed and direction vary more widely than hourly averages. The hourly average wind direction in
Calatagan throughout June is predominantly from the west, with a peak proportion of 41%on June 29.

Average Water Temperature in June

The daily average water temperature (purple line), with 25th to 75th and 10th to 90th percentile bands.

Figure 2.12 Average Water Temperature in June

Calatagan is located near a large body of water (e.g., ocean, sea, or large lake). This section reports on the wide-
area average surface temperature of that water.The average surface water temperature in Calatagan is essentially
constant during June, remaining around 85°F throughout.The highest average surface water temperature during
June is 85°F on June 10.

Average Daily Incident Shortwave Solar Energy

Figure 2.13 Average Daily Incident Shortwave Solar Energy

This section discusses the total daily incident shortwave solar energy reaching the surface of the ground over a wide
area, taking full account of seasonal variations in the length of the day, the elevation of the Sun above the horizon,
and absorption by clouds and other atmospheric constituents. Shortwave radiation includes visible light and
ultraviolet radiation.The average daily incident shortwave solar energy in Calatagan is gradually decreasing during
June, falling by 0.6 kWh, from 4.5 kWh to 3.9 kWh, over the course of the month.
