PrecipitationRenmark does not experience significant seasonal variation in the frequency of wet days (i.e., those with greater than 0.04 inches of liquid or liquid-equivalent precipitation). The frequency ranges from 5% to 14%, with an average value of 10%. Among wet days, we distinguish between those that experience rain alone, snow alone, or a mixture of the two. Based on this categorization, the most common form of precipitation throughout the year is rain alone, with a peak probability of 14% on June 6. Daily Chance of Precipitation
The percentage of days in which various types of precipitation are observed, excluding trace quantities: rain alone, snow alone, and mixed (both rain and snow fell in the same day).
RainfallTo show variation within the months and not just the monthly totals, we show the rainfall accumulated over a sliding 31-day period centered around each day of the year. Renmark experiences some seasonal variation in monthly rainfall. The rainy period of the year lasts for 11 months, from April 8 to March 6, with a sliding 31-day rainfall of at least 0.5 inches. The most rain falls during the 31 days centered around December 7, with an average total accumulation of 0.8 inches. The rainless period of the year lasts for 1.1 months, from March 6 to April 8. The least rain falls around March 26, with an average total accumulation of 0.4 inches. Average Monthly Rainfall
The average rainfall (solid line) accumulated over the course of a sliding 31-day period centered on the day in question, with 25th to 75th and 10th to 90th percentile bands. The thin dotted line is the corresponding average liquid-equivalent snowfall.
SunThe length of the day in Renmark varies significantly over the course of the year. In 2017, the shortest day is June 21, with 9 hours, 52 minutes of daylight; the longest day is December 21, with 14 hours, 26 minutes of daylight. Hours of Daylight and Twilight
The number of hours during which the Sun is visible (black line). From bottom (most yellow) to top (most gray), the color bands indicate: full daylight, twilight (civil, nautical, and astronomical), and full night.
The earliest sunrise is at 5:45 AM on September 30, and the latest sunrise is 1 hour, 33 minutes later at 7:19 AM on April 1. The earliest sunset is at 5:03 PM on June 11, and the latest sunset is 3 hours, 19 minutes later at 8:22 PM on January 7. Daylight saving time (DST) is observed in Renmark during 2017, starting in the spring on October 1 and ending in the fall on April 2. Sunrise & Sunset with Twilight and Daylight Saving Time
The solar day over the course of the year 2017. From bottom to top, the black lines are the previous solar midnight, sunrise, solar noon, sunset, and the next solar midnight. The day, twilights (civil, nautical, and astronomical), and night are indicated by the color bands from yellow to gray. The transitions to and from daylight saving time are indicated by the 'DST' labels.
HumidityWe 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 perceived humidity level in Renmark, as measured by the percentage of time in which the humidity comfort level is muggy, oppressive, or miserable, does not vary significantly over the course of the year, staying within 1% of 1% throughout. Humidity Comfort Levels
The percentage of time spent at various humidity comfort levels, categorized by dew point: dry < 55°F < comfortable < 60°F < humid < 65°F < muggy < 70°F < oppressive < 75°F < miserable.
WindThis 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 Renmark experiences mild seasonal variation over the course of the year. The windier part of the year lasts for 7.1 months, from August 13 to March 16, with average wind speeds of more than 5.3 miles per hour. The windiest day of the year is December 24, with an average hourly wind speed of 6.2 miles per hour. The calmer time of year lasts for 4.9 months, from March 16 to August 13. The calmest day of the year is May 20, with an average hourly wind speed of 4.5 miles per hour. Average Wind Speed
The average of mean hourly wind speeds (dark gray line), with 25th to 75th and 10th to 90th percentile bands.
The predominant average hourly wind direction in Renmark varies throughout the year. The wind is most often from the north for 1.0 weeks, from June 8 to June 15, with a peak percentage of 30% on June 14. The wind is most often from the west for 3.3 months, from June 15 to September 25, with a peak percentage of 40% on August 10. The wind is most often from the south for 8.4 months, from September 25 to June 8, with a peak percentage of 55% on January 1. Wind Direction
The percentage of hours in which the mean wind direction is from each of the four cardinal wind directions (north, east, south, and west), excluding hours in which the mean wind speed is less than 1 mph. The lightly tinted areas at the boundaries are the percentage of hours spent in the implied intermediate directions (northeast, southeast, southwest, and northwest).
Solar EnergyThis 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 experiences extreme seasonal variation over the course of the year. The brighter period of the year lasts for 3.6 months, from November 1 to February 19, with an average daily incident shortwave energy per square meter above 7.3 kWh. The brightest day of the year is January 4, with an average of 8.5 kWh.

Data SourcesThis report illustrates the typical weather in Renmark, based on a statistical analysis of historical hourly weather reports and model reconstructions from January 1, 1980 to December 31, 2016. Renmark is further than 200 kilometers from the nearest reliable weather station, so the weather-related data on this page were taken entirely from NASA's MERRA-2 satellite-era reanalysis . This reanalysis combines a variety of wide-area measurements in a state-of-the-art global meteorological model to reconstruct the hourly history of weather throughout the world on a 50-kilometer grid. The temperature and dew point estimates are corrected for the difference between the reference elevation of the MERRA-2 grid cell and the elevation of Renmark, according to the International Standard Atmosphere . All data relating to the Sun's position (e.g., sunrise and sunset) are computed using astronomical formulas from the book, Astronomical Tables of the Sun, Moon and Planets , by Jean Meeus. Land Use data comes from the Global Land Cover SHARE database , published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Elevation data comes from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) , published by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
