A wet day is one with at least 0.04 inches of liquid or liquid-equivalent precipitation. The chance of wet days in Karabük varies throughout the year.

The wetter season lasts 8.4 months, from October 6 to June 19, with a greater than 23% chance of a given day being a wet day. The chance of a wet day peaks at 33% on December 22.

The drier season lasts 3.6 months, from June 19 to October 6. The smallest chance of a wet day is 13% on August 3.

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 29% on November 24.

Rainfall

To 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. Karabük experiences some seasonal variation in monthly rainfall.

Rain falls throughout the year in Karabük. The most rain falls during the 31 days centered around October 24, with an average total accumulation of 2.6 inches.

The least rain falls around August 1, with an average total accumulation of 1.3 inches.

Snowfall

We report snowfall in liquid-equivalent terms. The actual depth of new snowfall is typically between 5 and 10 times the liquid-equivalent amount, assuming the ground is frozen. Colder, drier snow tends to be on the higher end of that range and warmer, wetter snow on the lower end.

As with rainfall, we consider the snowfall accumulated over a sliding 31-day period centered around each day of the year. Karabük experiences some seasonal variation in monthly liquid-equivalent snowfall.

The snowy period of the year lasts for 4.8 months, from November 6 to March 30, with a sliding 31-day liquid-equivalent snowfall of at least 0.1 inches. The most snow falls during the 31 days centered around January 6, with an average total liquid-equivalent accumulation of 0.6 inches.

The snowless period of the year lasts for 7.2 months, from March 30 to November 6. The least snow falls around July 19, with an average total liquid-equivalent accumulation of 0.0 inches.

The length of the day in Karabük varies significantly over the course of the year. In 2017, the shortest day is December 21, with 9 hours, 12 minutes of daylight; the longest day is June 21, with 15 hours, 9 minutes of daylight.

The earliest sunrise is at 5:16 AM on June 14, and the latest sunrise is 2 hours, 59 minutes later at 8:15 AM on January 5. The earliest sunset is at 5:20 PM on December 8, and the latest sunset is 3 hours, 6 minutes later at 8:26 PM on June 27.

Daylight saving time (DST) is not observed in Karabük during 2017.

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 perceived humidity level in Karabük, 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 2% of 2% throughout.

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 Karabük varies throughout the year.

The wind is most often from the north for 5.7 months, from April 25 to October 16, with a peak percentage of 62% on July 27. The wind is most often from the south for 6.3 months, from October 16 to April 25, with a peak percentage of 53% on January 1.

Karabük is located near a large body of water (e.g., ocean, sea, or large lake). This section reports on the wide-area average surface temperature of that water.

The average water temperature experiences significant seasonal variation over the course of the year.

The time of year with warmer water lasts for 3.3 months, from June 21 to September 30, with an average temperature above 70°F. The day of the year with the warmest water is August 11, with an average temperature of 76°F.

The time of year with cooler water lasts for 4.0 months, from December 21 to April 21, with an average temperature below 51°F. The day of the year with the coolest water is February 26, with an average temperature of 45°F.

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 extreme seasonal variation over the course of the year.

This report illustrates the typical weather in Karabük, 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 Karabük.

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

The stations contributing to this reconstruction are: Caycuma (69%, 74 kilometers, west) and Ankara Esenboğa International Airport (31%, 124 kilometers, south).

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.
