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 Zapolyarnyy is essentially constant during July, remaining around 0% throughout.

This report illustrates the typical weather in Zapolyarnyy, based on a statistical analysis of historical hourly weather reports and model reconstructions from January 1, 1980 to December 31, 2016.

Temperature and Dew Point

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

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

The stations contributing to this reconstruction are:

  • Kirkenes (ENKR, 67%, 31 mi, northwest, -148 ft elevation change)
  • Murmansk Airport (ULMM, 22%, 65 mi, southeast, -164 ft elevation change)
  • Ivalo Airport (EFIV, 11%, 101 mi, southwest, 49 ft elevation change)

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

We draw particular cautious attention to our reliance on the MERRA-2 model-based reconstructions for a number of important data series.
