The figure below shows you a compact characterization of the hourly average temperatures for the quarter of the year centered on November. The horizontal axis is the day, the vertical axis is the hour of the day, and the color is the average temperature for that hour and day. Palatka, Russia (3,145 miles away) is the far-away foreign place with temperatures most similar to Daneborg (view comparison). CloudsThe month of November at Daneborg experiences essentially constant cloud cover, with the percentage of time that the sky is overcast or mostly cloudy remaining about 58% throughout the month. The clearest day of the month is November 1, with clear, mostly clear, or partly cloudy conditions 44% of the time. For reference, on January 22, the cloudiest day of the year, the chance of overcast or mostly cloudy conditions is 70%, while on June 14, the clearest day of the year, the chance of clear, mostly clear, or partly cloudy skies is 62%. PrecipitationA wet day is one with at least 0.04 inches of liquid or liquid-equivalent precipitation. At Daneborg, the chance of a wet day over the course of November is essentially constant, remaining around 14% throughout. For reference, the year's highest daily chance of a wet day is 20% on January 4, and its lowest chance is 5% on June 11. SnowfallAs with rainfall, we consider the snowfall accumulated over a sliding 31-day period centered around each day. The average sliding 31-day snowfall during November at Daneborg is rapidly increasing, starting the month at 10.3 inches, when it rarely exceeds 25.5 inches or falls below 0.7 inches, and ending the month at 14.8 inches, when it rarely exceeds 35.6 inches or falls below 0.3 inches. SunDue to its extreme latitude, Daneborg experiences polar day (also known as the midnight Sun) during the summer and polar night during the winter. These are periods of time in which the sun is continuously above or below the horizon for more than one day. The precise start and end dates of polar day and night vary from year to year and depend on the precise location and elevation of the observer, and the local topography. In the winter at Daneborg during 2024, the Sun is continuously below the horizon for 2.9 months, setting at 11:10 AM on November 7, and not rising again until 10:52 AM on February 4. As such, polar night begins in November on and lasts beyond the end of the month. The longest day of the month is November 1, with 3 hours, 50 minutes of daylight. The earliest sunrise of the month at Daneborg is 9:08 AM on November 1 and the latest sunrise is 1 hour, 48 minutes later at 10:56 AM on November 7. The latest sunset is 12:58 PM on November 1 and the earliest sunset is 1 hour, 48 minutes earlier at 11:10 AM on November 7. Daylight saving time is observed at Daneborg during 2024, but it neither starts nor ends during November, so the entire month is in daylight saving time. The figure below presents a compact representation of the sun's elevation (the angle of the sun above the horizon) and azimuth (its compass bearing) for every hour of every day in the reporting period. The horizontal axis is the day of the year and the vertical axis is the hour of the day. For a given day and hour of that day, the background color indicates the azimuth of the sun at that moment. The black isolines are contours of constant solar elevation. MoonThe figure below presents a compact representation of key lunar data for November 2024. The horizontal axis is the day, the vertical axis is the hour of the day, and the colored areas indicate when the moon is above the horizon. The vertical gray bars (new Moons) and blue bars (full Moons) indicate key Moon phases. The label associated with each bar indicates the date and time that the phase is obtained, and the companion time labels indicate the rise and set times of the Moon for the nearest time interval in which the moon is above the horizon.
HumidityWe 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 at Daneborg is essentially constant during November, remaining around 0% throughout. WindThis 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 average hourly wind speed at Daneborg is essentially constant during November, remaining within 0.2 miles per hour of 11.5 miles per hour throughout. For reference, on January 4, the windiest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 13.4 miles per hour, while on June 11, the calmest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 5.6 miles per hour. The hourly average wind direction at Daneborg throughout November is predominantly from the north, with a peak proportion of 69% on November 4. Water TemperatureDaneborg 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 at Daneborg is essentially constant during November, remaining around 29°F throughout. Growing SeasonDefinitions of the growing season vary throughout the world, but for the purposes of this report, we define it as the longest continuous period of non-freezing temperatures (≥ 32°F) in the year (the calendar year in the Northern Hemisphere, or from July 1 until June 30 in the Southern Hemisphere). The growing season at Daneborg typically lasts for 1.4 months (43 days), from around July 8 to around August 21, rarely starting before June 16, or ending after September 9. The month of November at Daneborg is reliably fully outside of the growing season. Growing degree days are a measure of yearly heat accumulation used to predict plant and animal development, and defined as the integral of warmth above a base temperature, discarding any excess above a maximum temperature. In this report, we use a base of 50°F and a cap of 86°F. The average accumulated growing degree days at Daneborg are essentially constant during November, remaining around 9°F throughout. Solar EnergyThis 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 at Daneborg is essentially constant during November, remaining around 0.0 kWh throughout.

Data SourcesThis report illustrates the typical weather at Daneborg, based on a statistical analysis of historical hourly weather reports and model reconstructions from January 1, 1980 to December 31, 2016. Temperature and Dew PointDaneborg has a weather station that reported reliably enough during the analysis period that we have included it in our network. When available, historical temperature and dew point measurements are taken directly from this weather station. These records are obtained from NOAA's Integrated Surface Hourly data set, falling back on ICAO METAR records as required. There are no other weather stations in our network within 200 kilometers of this location. Consequently, in the case of missing or erroneous measurements from this station, we fall back on NASA's MERRA-2 modern-era reanalysis , adjusted according to typical seasonal and diurnal differences between this station and the wide-area MERRA-2 reconstructed values.Other DataAll data relating to the Sun's position (e.g., sunrise and sunset) are computed using astronomical formulas from the book, Astronomical Algorithms 2nd Edition , by Jean Meeus. All other weather data, including cloud cover, precipitation, wind speed and direction, and solar flux, come from NASA's MERRA-2 Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis . This reanalysis combines a variety of wide-area measurements in a state-of-the-art global meteorological model to reconstruct the hourly history of weather throughout the world on a 50-kilometer grid. Land Use data comes from the Global Land Cover SHARE database , published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Elevation data comes from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) , published by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Weather data is prone to errors, outages, and other defects. We assume no responsibility for any decisions made on the basis of the content presented on this site. We draw particular cautious attention to our reliance on the MERRA-2 model-based reconstructions for a number of important data series. While having the tremendous advantages of temporal and spatial completeness, these reconstructions: (1) are based on computer models that may have model-based errors, (2) are coarsely sampled on a 50 km grid and are therefore unable to reconstruct the local variations of many microclimates, and (3) have particular difficulty with the weather in some coastal areas, especially small islands. We further caution that our travel scores are only as good as the data that underpin them, that weather conditions at any given location and time are unpredictable and variable, and that the definition of the scores reflects a particular set of preferences that may not agree with those of any particular reader.
