Daylight saving time (DST) is observed in Pooler during 2017, starting in the spring on March 12, lasting 7.8 months, and ending in the fall on November 5.

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.

Pooler experiences extreme seasonal variation in the perceived humidity.

The muggier period of the year lasts for 5.4 months, from May 8 to October 21, during which time the comfort level is muggy, oppressive, or miserable at least 25% of the time. The muggiest day of the year is August 5, with muggy conditions 98% of the time.

The least muggy day of the year is February 4, when muggy conditions are essentially unheard of.

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 predominant average hourly wind direction in Pooler varies throughout the year.

The wind is most often from the south for 4.7 months, from March 29 to August 20, with a peak percentage of 44% on July 19. The wind is most often from the north for 2.4 months, from October 11 to December 24, with a peak percentage of 37% on November 8. The wind is most often from the west for 3.2 months, from December 24 to March 29, with a peak percentage of 35% on January 1.

Temperature and Dew Point

There are 3 weather stations near enough to contribute to our estimation of the temperature and dew point in Pooler.

For each station, the records are corrected for the elevation difference between that station and Pooler 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 Pooler is computed as the weighted average of the individual contributions from each station, with weights proportional to the inverse of the distance between Pooler and a given station.

The stations contributing to this reconstruction are: Savannah International Airport (95%, 3.8 kilometers, northeast); Ft. Stewart (3.0%, 40 kilometers, southwest); and Statesboro, Statesboro-Bulloch County Airport (1.5%, 62 kilometers, northwest).

Other Data

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.

All other weather data, including cloud cover, precipitation, wind speed and direction, and solar flux, come from NASA's MERRA-2 Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis . 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.

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.
