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 fall at Berlevåg Airport is rapidly decreasing, starting the season at 1.7 inches, when it rarely exceeds 2.8 inches or falls below 0.6 inches, and ending the season at 0.5 inches, when it rarely exceeds 1.0 inches.

Snowfall

As with rainfall, we consider the snowfall accumulated over a sliding 31-day period centered around each day.

Due to its extreme latitude, Berlevåg Airport experiences polar day (also known as the midnight Sun) during the summer and polar night during the winter. These are periods of time in which the sun is continuously above or below the horizon for more than one day. The precise start and end dates of polar day and night vary from year to year and depend on the precise location and elevation of the observer, and the local topography.

In the winter at Berlevåg Airport during 2024, the Sun is continuously below the horizon for 2.0 months, setting at 11:14 AM on November 20, and not rising again until 10:40 AM on January 22. As such, polar night begins in the fall and lasts beyond the end of the season.

The longest day of the fall is September 1, with 15 hours, 34 minutes of daylight.

The earliest sunrise of the fall at Berlevåg Airport is 4:15 AM on September 1 and the latest sunrise is 6 hours, 8 minutes later at 10:23 AM on November 20.

The latest sunset is 7:49 PM on September 1 and the earliest sunset is 8 hours, 35 minutes earlier at 11:14 AM on November 20.

Daylight saving time (DST) starts at 2:00 AM on October 27, 2024, shifting sunrise and sunset to be an hour later.

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 fall 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 at Berlevåg Airport is essentially constant during the fall, remaining around 0% throughout.

For reference, on June 28, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 0% of the time, while on January 1, the least muggy day of the year, there are muggy conditions 0% 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 at Berlevåg Airport is very rapidly increasing during the fall, increasing from 11.2 miles per hour to 16.3 miles per hour over the course of the season.

For reference, on January 29, the windiest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 17.8 miles per hour, while on July 31, the calmest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 9.9 miles per hour.

The wind direction at Berlevåg Airport during the fall is predominantly out of the south from September 1 to September 29 and from October 18 to November 30 and the west from September 29 to October 18.

Berlevåg Airport 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 at Berlevåg Airport is decreasing during the fall, falling by 6°F, from 48°F to 42°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).

The growing season at Berlevåg Airport typically lasts for 4.4 months (135 days), from around May 22 to around October 4, rarely starting before May 4 or after June 12, and rarely ending before September 17 or after October 23.

During the fall at Berlevåg Airport, the chance that a given day is within the growing season is very rapidly decreasing falling from 100% to 0% over the course of the season.

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 at Berlevåg Airport are essentially constant during the fall, remaining within 10°F of 201°F throughout.

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 at Berlevåg Airport is very rapidly decreasing during the fall, falling by 2.3 kWh, from 2.3 kWh to 0.0 kWh, over the course of the season.
