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 Pasragad Branch is essentially constant during the spring, remaining around 0% throughout.

Temperature and Dew Point

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

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

The stations contributing to this reconstruction are:

  • Hamadan Airport (OICJ, 54%, 12 mi, northeast, -1,345 ft elevation change)
  • Malayer (OIHM, 28%, 40 mi, southeast, -935 ft elevation change)
  • Shahid Ashrafi Esfahani Airport (OICC, 9%, 81 mi, west, -2,313 ft elevation change)
  • Sanandaj (OICS, 8%, 89 mi, west, -2,073 ft elevation change)

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