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

The wetter season lasts 2.0 months, from May 14 to July 14, with a greater than 21% chance of a given day being a wet day. The chance of a wet day peaks at 27% on June 14.

The drier season lasts 10 months, from July 14 to May 14. The smallest chance of a wet day is 14% on September 25.

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. Novomoskovs’k experiences some seasonal variation in monthly rainfall.

Rain falls throughout the year in Novomoskovs’k. The most rain falls during the 31 days centered around June 23, with an average total accumulation of 1.9 inches.

The least rain falls around February 7, with an average total accumulation of 0.5 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. Novomoskovs’k experiences some seasonal variation in monthly liquid-equivalent snowfall.

The snowy period of the year lasts for 4.5 months, from November 12 to March 27, 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 23, with an average total liquid-equivalent accumulation of 0.5 inches.

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.

Novomoskovs’k experiences some seasonal variation in the perceived humidity.

The muggier period of the year lasts for 2.6 months, from June 10 to August 28, during which time the comfort level is muggy, oppressive, or miserable at least 3% of the time. The muggiest day of the year is July 17, with muggy conditions 11% of the time.

The least muggy day of the year is March 2, 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.

Temperature and Dew Point

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

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

The stations contributing to this reconstruction are: Dnipropetrovsk International Airport (85%, 33 kilometers, south); Kharkiv International Airport (8%, 162 kilometers, northeast); and Donetsk International Airport (6%, 195 kilometers, east).

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.
