Spring Weather in Luna Philippines

Daily high temperatures increase by 4°F, from 86°F to 90°F, rarely falling below 83°F or exceeding 93°F. The highest daily average high temperature is 91°F on May 24.

Daily low temperatures are around 77°F, rarely falling below 73°F or exceeding 80°F. The highest daily average low temperature is 79°F on May 27.

For reference, on May 19, the hottest day of the year, temperatures in Luna typically range from 79°F to 91°F, while on January 22, the coldest day of the year, they range from 75°F to 84°F.

The figure below shows you a compact characterization of the hourly average spring temperatures. 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.

The spring in Luna experiences very rapidly increasing cloud cover, with the percentage of time that the sky is overcast or mostly cloudy increasing from 56% to 90%. The lowest chance of overcast or mostly cloudy conditions is 55% on March 4.

The clearest day of the spring is March 4, with clear, mostly clear, or partly cloudy conditions 45% of the time.

For reference, on August 16, the cloudiest day of the year, the chance of overcast or mostly cloudy conditions is 92%, while on March 3, the clearest day of the year, the chance of clear, mostly clear, or partly cloudy skies is 45%.

A wet day is one with at least 0.04 inches of liquid or liquid-equivalent precipitation. In Luna, the chance of a wet day over the course of the spring is essentially constant, remaining around 28% throughout.

For reference, the year's highest daily chance of a wet day is 61% on December 2, and its lowest chance is 21% on April 20.

Rainfall

To show variation within the season and not just the monthly totals, we show the rainfall accumulated over a sliding 31-day period centered around each day.

The average sliding 31-day rainfall during the spring in Luna is essentially constant, remaining about 3.8 inches throughout, and rarely exceeding 11.5 inches or falling below 0.3 inches.

The lowest average 31-day accumulation is 2.8 inches on April 16.

Over the course of the spring in Luna, the length of the day is increasing. From the start to the end of the season, the length of the day increases by 55 minutes, implying an average daily increase of 36 seconds, and weekly increase of 4 minutes, 15 seconds.

The shortest day of the spring is March 1, with 11 hours, 54 minutes of daylight and the longest day is May 31, with 12 hours, 49 minutes of daylight.

The latest sunrise of the spring in Luna is 6:00 AM on March 1 and the earliest sunrise is 42 minutes earlier at 5:18 AM on May 31.

The earliest sunset is 5:54 PM on March 1 and the latest sunset is 13 minutes later at 6:07 PM on May 31.

Daylight saving time is not observed in Luna during 2024.

For reference, on June 20, the longest day of the year, the Sun rises at 5:20 AM and sets 12 hours, 52 minutes later, at 6:12 PM, while on December 21, the shortest day of the year, it rises at 6:01 AM and sets 11 hours, 23 minutes later, at 5:24 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.

The figure below presents a compact representation of key lunar data for the spring of 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.

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 Luna is essentially constant during the spring, remaining around 100% throughout.

For reference, on March 2, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 100% of the time, while on January 20, the least muggy day of the year, there are muggy conditions 100% of the time.

This 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 Luna is rapidly decreasing during the spring, decreasing from 10.9 miles per hour to 7.2 miles per hour over the course of the season.

For reference, on January 2, the windiest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 12.1 miles per hour, while on May 30, the calmest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 7.2 miles per hour.

The lowest daily average wind speed during the spring is 7.2 miles per hour on May 31.

The hourly average wind direction in Luna throughout the spring is predominantly from the east, with a peak proportion of 90% on March 24.

Luna 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 Luna is increasing during the spring, rising by 5°F, from 79°F to 84°F, over the course of the season.

Definitions 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).

Temperatures in Luna are sufficiently warm year round that it is not entirely meaningful to discuss the growing season in these terms. We nevertheless include the chart below as an illustration of the distribution of temperatures experienced throughout the year.

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 Luna are very rapidly increasing during the spring, increasing by 2,894°F, from 1,742°F to 4,637°F, over the course of the season.

This 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 Luna is decreasing during the spring, falling by 1.3 kWh, from 6.1 kWh to 4.7 kWh, over the course of the season.

The highest average daily incident shortwave solar energy during the spring is 6.6 kWh on April 15.

For the purposes of this report, the geographical coordinates of Luna are 12.549 deg latitude, 123.734 deg longitude, and 213 ft elevation.

The topography within 2 miles of Luna contains significant variations in elevation, with a maximum elevation change of 659 feet and an average elevation above sea level of 143 feet. Within 10 miles contains significant variations in elevation (1,250 feet). Within 50 miles contains very significant variations in elevation (8,081 feet).

The area within 2 miles of Luna is covered by water (33%), trees (29%), and cropland (24%), within 10 miles by water (70%) and trees (13%), and within 50 miles by water (68%) and trees (13%).
