humidity
The dew point determines whether perspiration can evaporate from the skin and cool the body, so it is
used to assess the humidity comfort level. The lower the dew point, the drier it feels, and the higher the
dew point, the more humid it feels. Unlike temperature, which fluctuates dramatically between night
and day, dew point fluctuates more slowly. As a result, when the temperature can drop at night, a
muggy day is more likely to occur then, followed by a muggy night

The perceived humidity in Olongapo varies from season to season.

From March 7 to December 27, the hottest part of the year lasts 9.6 months, during which time the
comfort level is muggy, oppressive, or uncomfortable at least 79 percent of the time. August 1 is the
muggiest day of the year, with muggy conditions present 100% of the time.
