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 Tizi Gheniff is essentially constant during March, remaining around 0% throughout.

For reference, on August 17, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 34% of the time, while on November 13, the least muggy day of the year, there are muggy conditions 0% of the time.
