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 El Tabo is gradually increasing during January, rising from 5% to 7% over the course of the month.

For reference, on February 7, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 8% of the time, while on July 21, the least muggy day of the year, there are muggy conditions 0% of the time.

Temperature and Dew Point

There are 3 weather stations near enough to contribute to our estimation of the temperature and dew point in El Tabo.

For each station, the records are corrected for the elevation difference between that station and El Tabo according to the International Standard Atmosphere , and by the relative change present in the MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis between the two locations.

The estimated value at El Tabo is computed as the weighted average of the individual contributions from each station, with weights proportional to the inverse of the distance between El Tabo and a given station.

The stations contributing to this reconstruction are:

To get a sense of how much these sources agree with each other, you can view a comparison of El Tabo and the stations that contribute to our estimates of its temperature history and climate. Please note that each source's contribution is adjusted for elevation and the relative change present in the MERRA-2 data.

Other Data

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.

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.
