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. Āgaro experiences extreme seasonal variation in monthly rainfall.

The rainy period of the year lasts for 12 months, from January 10 to December 26, with a sliding 31-day rainfall of at least 0.5 inches. The most rain falls during the 31 days centered around August 5, with an average total accumulation of 10.1 inches.

The rainless period of the year lasts for 2.1 weeks, from December 26 to January 10. The least rain falls around January 3, with an average total accumulation of 0.5 inches.

The length of the day in Āgaro does not vary substantially over the course of the year, staying within 34 minutes of 12 hours throughout. In 2017, the shortest day is December 21, with 11 hours, 40 minutes of daylight; the longest day is June 21, with 12 hours, 35 minutes of daylight.

The earliest sunrise is at 6:14 AM on May 26, and the latest sunrise is 39 minutes later at 6:53 AM on January 30. The earliest sunset is at 6:10 PM on November 13, and the latest sunset is 45 minutes later at 6:55 PM on July 15.

Daylight saving time (DST) is not observed in Āgaro 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 Āgaro, 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, remaining a virtually constant 0% 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 Āgaro varies throughout the year.

The wind is most often from the south for 5.3 months, from April 28 to October 6, with a peak percentage of 72% on September 10. The wind is most often from the east for 6.7 months, from October 6 to April 28, with a peak percentage of 60% on January 1.

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 2.6 months, from October 14 to January 1, with an average daily incident shortwave energy per square meter above 6.2 kWh. The brightest day of the year is November 6, with an average of 6.6 kWh.

The darker period of the year lasts for 2.4 months, from June 10 to August 21, with an average daily incident shortwave energy per square meter below 5.1 kWh. The darkest day of the year is July 12, with an average of 4.7 kWh.

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

Āgaro 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 Āgaro, 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.
