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 Zhu Cheng City is essentially constant during January, remaining around 0% throughout.

For reference, on July 27, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 91% of the time, while on November 3, the least muggy day of the year, there are muggy conditions 0% of the time.
