    Humidity

    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.

    Guanare experiences significant seasonal variation in the perceived humidity.

    The muggier period of the year lasts for 9.8 months, from March 15 to January 9, during which time the comfort level is muggy, oppressive, or miserable at least 73% of the time. The muggiest day of the year is October 12, with muggy conditions 100% of the time.

    The least muggy day of the year is February 3, with muggy conditions 63% of the time.

    Wind

    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 Guanare does not vary significantly over the course of the year, remaining within 0.5 miles per hour of 2.1 miles per hour throughout.

    Solar Energy

    This 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 some seasonal variation over the course of the year.

    The brighter period of the year lasts for 2.3 months, from January 26 to April 4, with an average daily incident shortwave energy per square meter above 6.1 kWh. The brightest day of the year is February 27, with an average of 6.5 kWh.

    The darker period of the year lasts for 2.4 months, from September 21 to December 2, with an average daily incident shortwave energy per square meter below 5.2 kWh. The darkest day of the year is November 3, with an average of 4.9 kWh.

    Data Sources

    This report illustrates the typical weather in Guanare, based on a statistical analysis of historical hourly weather reports and model reconstructions from January 1, 1980 to December 31, 2016.

    Temperature and Dew Point

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

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

    The stations contributing to this reconstruction are: Guanare Airport (99%, 2.2 kilometers, southwest) and Acarigua (0.8%, 79 kilometers, northeast).

    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.
