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 Stürzelbach is essentially constant during October, remaining around 0% throughout.

For reference, on July 12, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 1% of the time, while on January 1, the least muggy day of the year, there are muggy conditions 0% of the time.

Temperature and Dew Point

There are 4 weather stations near enough to contribute to our estimation of the temperature and dew point in Stürzelbach.

For each station, the records are corrected for the elevation difference between that station and Stürzelbach 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 Stürzelbach is computed as the weighted average of the individual contributions from each station, with weights proportional to the inverse of the distance between Stürzelbach and a given station.

The stations contributing to this reconstruction are:

  • Mendig (ETHM, 43%, 24 mi, southwest, -338 ft elevation change)
  • Cologne Bonn Airport (EDDK, 35%, 26 mi, northwest, -633 ft elevation change)
  • Wiesbaden (ETOU, 14%, 52 mi, southeast, -476 ft elevation change)
  • Fritzlar (ETHF, 7%, 80 mi, northeast, -371 ft elevation change)

To get a sense of how much these sources agree with each other, you can view a comparison of Stürzelbach 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.

The information on this site is provided as is, without any assurances as to its accuracy or suitability for any purpose. 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.
