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 at Cap. FAP José A. Quiñones Gonzáles International Airport is rapidly decreasing during the winter, falling from 18% to 3% over the course of the season.

For reference, on February 21, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 90% of the time, while on October 13, the least muggy day of the year, there are muggy conditions 1% of the time.
