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 winter in Ancud is very rapidly decreasing, starting the season at 7.4 inches, when it rarely exceeds 12.0 inches or falls below 3.2 inches, and ending the season at 5.0 inches, when it rarely exceeds 7.5 inches or falls below 2.8 inches.

The highest average 31-day accumulation is 7.4 inches on June 3.

Over the course of the winter in Ancud, the length of the day is rapidly increasing. From the start to the end of the season, the length of the day increases by 1 hour, 48 minutes, implying an average daily increase of 1 minute, 11 seconds, and weekly increase of 8 minutes, 20 seconds.

The shortest day of the winter is June 21, with 9 hours, 8 minutes of daylight and the longest day is August 31, with 11 hours, 8 minutes of daylight.

The latest sunrise of the winter in Ancud is 8:24 AM on June 28 and the earliest sunrise is 1 hour, 2 minutes earlier at 7:21 AM on August 31.

The earliest sunset is 5:30 PM on June 14 and the latest sunset is 1 hour, 0 minutes later at 6:29 PM on August 31.

Daylight saving time is observed in Ancud during 2026, but it neither starts nor ends during the winter, so the entire season is in standard time.

For reference, on December 21, the longest day of the year, the Sun rises at 6:16 AM and sets 15 hours, 14 minutes later, at 9:30 PM, while on June 21, the shortest day of the year, it rises at 8:23 AM and sets 9 hours, 8 minutes later, at 5:31 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 winter of 2026. 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 Ancud is essentially constant during the winter, remaining around 0% throughout.

For reference, on February 1, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 0% of the time, while on May 3, 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 in Ancud is essentially constant during the winter, remaining within 0.3 miles per hour of 8.9 miles per hour throughout.

For reference, on June 30, the windiest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 9.2 miles per hour, while on March 8, the calmest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 7.1 miles per hour.

The highest daily average wind speed during the winter is 9.2 miles per hour on June 30.

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 Ancud are very rapidly decreasing during the winter, decreasing by 1,379°F, from 1,425°F to 45°F, over the course of the season.
