A wet day is one with at least 0.04 inches of liquid or liquid-equivalent precipitation. In Faroe Islands, the chance of a wet day over the course of July is gradually increasing, starting the month at 28% and ending it at 31%.

For reference, the year's highest daily chance of a wet day is 52% on January 4, and its lowest chance is 24% on June 7.

Rainfall

To show variation within the month and not just the monthly total, we show the rainfall accumulated over a sliding 31-day period centered around each day.

The average sliding 31-day rainfall during July in Faroe Islands is essentially constant, remaining about 2.1 inches throughout, and rarely exceeding 3.5 inches or falling below 0.9 inches.

Over the course of July in Faroe Islands, the length of the day is very rapidly decreasing. From the start to the end of the month, the length of the day decreases by 2 hours, 10 minutes, implying an average daily decrease of 4 minutes, 21 seconds, and weekly decrease of 30 minutes, 25 seconds.

The shortest day of the month is July 31, with 17 hours, 22 minutes of daylight and the longest day is July 1, with 19 hours, 32 minutes of daylight.

The earliest sunrise of the month in Faroe Islands is 3:45 AM on July 1 and the latest sunrise is 1 hour, 7 minutes later at 4:52 AM on July 31.

The latest sunset is 11:17 PM on July 1 and the earliest sunset is 1 hour, 3 minutes earlier at 10:14 PM on July 31.

Daylight saving time is observed in Faroe Islands during 2024, but it neither starts nor ends during July, so the entire month is in standard time.

For reference, on June 20, the longest day of the year, the Sun rises at 3:37 AM and sets 19 hours, 45 minutes later, at 11:22 PM, while on December 21, the shortest day of the year, it rises at 9:51 AM and sets 5 hours, 9 minutes later, at 3:00 PM.

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.

The figure below presents a compact representation of key lunar data for July 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.

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 Faroe Islands is essentially constant during July, remaining around 0% throughout.

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 average hourly wind speed in Faroe Islands is essentially constant during July, remaining within 0.3 miles per hour of 13.5 miles per hour throughout.

For reference, on January 22, the windiest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 23.0 miles per hour, while on July 23, the calmest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 13.2 miles per hour.

The lowest daily average wind speed during July is 13.2 miles per hour on July 23.

The hourly average wind direction in Faroe Islands throughout July is predominantly from the south, with a peak proportion of 32% on July 31.

Faroe Islands 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 Faroe Islands is essentially constant during July, remaining within 1°F of 50°F throughout.

Definitions 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 in Faroe Islands typically lasts for 6.4 months (196 days), from around April 24 to around November 6, rarely starting before March 26 or after May 16, and rarely ending before October 4 or after December 8.

The month of July in Faroe Islands is reliably fully within 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 in Faroe Islands are gradually increasing during July, increasing by 40°F, from 19°F to 59°F, over the course of the month.

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 Faroe Islands is gradually decreasing during July, falling by 0.9 kWh, from 5.3 kWh to 4.4 kWh, over the course of the month.

For the purposes of this report, the geographical coordinates of Faroe Islands are 62.000 deg latitude, -7.000 deg longitude, and 0 ft elevation.
