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 Căianu is essentially constant during the fall, remaining around 0% throughout.

For reference, on July 28, the muggiest day of the year, there are muggy conditions 7% of the time, while on October 12, the least muggy day of the year, there are muggy conditions 0% of the time.

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 in Căianu typically lasts for 5.9 months (179 days), from around April 18 to around October 14, rarely starting before March 30 or after May 5, and rarely ending before September 25 or after October 31.

During the fall in Căianu, the chance that a given day is within the growing season is very rapidly decreasing falling from 99% to -0% over the course of the season.

Temperature and Dew Point

There are 2 weather stations near enough to contribute to our estimation of the temperature and dew point in Căianu.

For each station, the records are corrected for the elevation difference between that station and Căianu according to the International Standard Atmosphere , and by the relative change present in the MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis between the two locations.

The estimated value at Căianu is computed as the weighted average of the individual contributions from each station, with weights proportional to the inverse of the distance between Căianu and a given station.

The stations contributing to this reconstruction are:
