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 Cardona is rapidly increasing during the spring, rising from 2% to 13% over the course of the season.

For reference, on February 9, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 34% of the time, while on July 20, 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 Cardona is essentially constant during the spring, remaining within 0.4 miles per hour of 10.4 miles per hour throughout.

For reference, on September 12, the windiest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 10.7 miles per hour, while on May 5, the calmest day of the year, the daily average wind speed is 8.8 miles per hour.

The highest daily average wind speed during the spring is 10.7 miles per hour on September 12.

The wind direction in Cardona during the spring is predominantly out of the north from September 1 to September 4 and the east from September 4 to November 30.

The spring in Cardona is very likely fully outside of the growing season, with the chance that a given day is in the growing season rapidly increasing from 57% to 100% 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 in Cardona are very rapidly increasing during the spring, increasing by 1,055°F, from 282°F to 1,337°F, over the course of the season.
