The figure below shows you a compact characterization of the hourly average temperatures for the quarter of the year centered on November. 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. Cool, United States (6,622 miles away) and Yangzhong, China (5,452 miles) are the far-away foreign places with temperatures most similar to Galaxídhion (view comparison). CloudsThe month of November in Galaxídhion experiences essentially constant cloud cover, with the percentage of time that the sky is overcast or mostly cloudy remaining about 43% throughout the month. The clearest day of the month is November 8, with clear, mostly clear, or partly cloudy conditions 58% of the time. For reference, on December 11, the cloudiest day of the year, the chance of overcast or mostly cloudy conditions is 46%, while on July 19, the clearest day of the year, the chance of clear, mostly clear, or partly cloudy skies is 97%. PrecipitationA wet day is one with at least 0.04 inches of liquid or liquid-equivalent precipitation. In Galaxídhion, the chance of a wet day over the course of November is rapidly increasing, starting the month at 22% and ending it at 29%. For reference, the year's highest daily chance of a wet day is 29% on December 3, and its lowest chance is 5% on July 23. RainfallTo 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 November in Galaxídhion is gradually increasing, starting the month at 2.7 inches, when it rarely exceeds 5.1 inches or falls below 0.7 inches, and ending the month at 3.0 inches, when it rarely exceeds 6.0 inches or falls below 0.9 inches. The highest average 31-day accumulation is 3.0 inches on November 22. SunOver the course of November in Galaxídhion, the length of the day is decreasing. From the start to the end of the month, the length of the day decreases by 51 minutes, implying an average daily decrease of 1 minute, 45 seconds, and weekly decrease of 12 minutes, 18 seconds. The shortest day of the month is November 30, with 9 hours, 42 minutes of daylight and the longest day is November 1, with 10 hours, 33 minutes of daylight. The earliest sunrise of the month in Galaxídhion is 6:57 AM on November 1 and the latest sunrise is 31 minutes later at 7:27 AM on November 30. The latest sunset is 5:30 PM on November 1 and the earliest sunset is 20 minutes earlier at 5:10 PM on November 30. Daylight saving time is observed in Galaxídhion during 2024, but it neither starts nor ends during November, so the entire month is in daylight saving time. For reference, on June 20, the longest day of the year, the Sun rises at 6:06 AM and sets 14 hours, 51 minutes later, at 8:57 PM, while on December 21, the shortest day of the year, it rises at 7:44 AM and sets 9 hours, 29 minutes later, at 5:13 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 November 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 Galaxídhion is essentially constant during November, remaining around 0% throughout. For reference, on August 10, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 3% 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 Galaxídhion is gradually increasing during November, increasing from 6.6 miles per hour to 7.1 miles per hour over the course of the month. For reference, on February 24, the windiest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 7.8 miles per hour, while on September 1, the calmest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 5.8 miles per hour. The wind direction in Galaxídhion during November is predominantly out of the east from November 1 to November 12 and the west from November 12 to November 30. Water TemperatureGalaxídhion 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 Galaxídhion is decreasing during November, falling by 5°F, from 69°F to 64°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). The growing season in Galaxídhion typically lasts for 9.8 months (299 days), from around February 23 to around December 18, rarely starting before January 19 or after March 23, and rarely ending before November 20 or after January 13. The month of November in Galaxídhion is very likely fully within the growing season, with the chance that a given day is in the growing season decreasing from 99% to 79% over the course of the month. 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 Galaxídhion are increasing during November, increasing by 180°F, from 4,658°F to 4,838°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 Galaxídhion is gradually decreasing during November, falling by 0.9 kWh, from 3.1 kWh to 2.2 kWh, over the course of the month.

Data SourcesThis report illustrates the typical weather in Galaxídhion, based on a statistical analysis of historical hourly weather reports and model reconstructions from January 1, 1980 to December 31, 2016. Temperature and Dew PointThere are 4 weather stations near enough to contribute to our estimation of the temperature and dew point in Galaxídhion. For each station, the records are corrected for the elevation difference between that station and Galaxídhion 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 Galaxídhion is computed as the weighted average of the individual contributions from each station, with weights proportional to the inverse of the distance between Galaxídhion 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 Galaxídhion 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 DataAll 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. All other weather data, including cloud cover, precipitation, wind speed and direction, and solar flux, come from NASA's MERRA-2 Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis . 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. 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.
