The figure below shows you a compact characterization of the hourly average temperatures for the quarter of the year centered on July. 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. Guelmim, Morocco (6,062 miles away) and Geraldton, Australia (9,427 miles) are the far-away foreign places with temperatures most similar to Las Brisas (view comparison). CloudsThe month of July in Las Brisas experiences gradually increasing cloud cover, with the percentage of time that the sky is overcast or mostly cloudy increasing from 11% to 18%. The clearest day of the month is July 1, with clear, mostly clear, or partly cloudy conditions 89% of the time. For reference, on February 22, the cloudiest day of the year, the chance of overcast or mostly cloudy conditions is 38%, while on June 21, the clearest day of the year, the chance of clear, mostly clear, or partly cloudy skies is 91%. PrecipitationSunOver the course of July in Las Brisas, the length of the day is gradually decreasing. From the start to the end of the month, the length of the day decreases by 29 minutes, implying an average daily decrease of 58 seconds, and weekly decrease of 6 minutes, 44 seconds. The shortest day of the month is July 31, with 13 hours, 38 minutes of daylight and the longest day is July 1, with 14 hours, 7 minutes of daylight. The earliest sunrise of the month in Las Brisas is 5:45 AM on July 1 and the latest sunrise is 17 minutes later at 6:01 AM on July 31. The latest sunset is 7:52 PM on July 1 and the earliest sunset is 12 minutes earlier at 7:39 PM on July 31. Daylight saving time is observed in Las Brisas 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 5:41 AM and sets 14 hours, 10 minutes later, at 7:51 PM, while on December 21, the shortest day of the year, it rises at 6:38 AM and sets 10 hours, 8 minutes later, at 4:47 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. MoonThe 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.
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 in Las Brisas is gradually increasing during July, rising from 1% to 3% over the course of the month. For reference, on August 27, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 7% of the time, while on January 1, the least muggy day of the year, there are muggy conditions 0% of the time. 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 in Las Brisas is essentially constant during July, remaining within 0.1 miles per hour of 6.2 miles per hour throughout. For reference, on April 10, the windiest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 8.3 miles per hour, while on August 22, the calmest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 5.9 miles per hour. The hourly average wind direction in Las Brisas throughout July is predominantly from the west, with a peak proportion of 50% on July 20. Water TemperatureLas Brisas 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 Las Brisas is gradually increasing during July, rising by 2°F, from 64°F to 66°F, over the course of the month. 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). Temperatures in Las Brisas are sufficiently warm year round that it is not entirely meaningful to discuss the growing season in these terms. We nevertheless include the chart below as an illustration of the distribution of temperatures experienced throughout the year. 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 Las Brisas are rapidly increasing during July, increasing by 752°F, from 2,407°F to 3,159°F, over the course of the month. 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 in Las Brisas is gradually decreasing during July, falling by 0.7 kWh, from 8.3 kWh to 7.7 kWh, over the course of the month. TopographyFor the purposes of this report, the geographical coordinates of Las Brisas are 30.961 deg latitude, -116.164 deg longitude, and 118 ft elevation.

Data SourcesThis report illustrates the typical weather in Las Brisas, based on a statistical analysis of historical hourly weather reports and model reconstructions from January 1, 1980 to December 31, 2016. Las Brisas is further than 200 kilometers from the nearest reliable weather station, so the weather-related data on this page were taken entirely from NASA's MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis . 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. The temperature and dew point estimates are corrected for the difference between the reference elevation of the MERRA-2 grid cell and the elevation of Las Brisas, according to the International Standard Atmosphere . All 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. 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.
