DryComfortableHumidMuggyOppressiveMiserable

Share of days at each humidity comfort level, based on the dew point — the measure that tracks how muggy it actually feels.

Humidity comfort is graded by the dew point — the temperature at which the air would be fully saturated — because it tracks how muggy it actually feels far better than relative humidity does. A low dew point feels dry and crisp; a high one feels sticky and oppressive no matter the reading on a humidity gauge.

Olho d’Água das Cunhãs is humid all year round — on a typical day the air feels at least humid, and there is no real dry season to wait for.

Solar energy

Average daily shortwave solar energy reaching the ground, banded into brightness zones so the number means something at a glance.

Solar energy is how much sunlight actually reaches the ground each day, measured in kilowatt-hours per square metre (kWh/m²) — the combined effect of how long the sun is up, how high it climbs, and how much cloud gets in the way. It's the raw fuel a solar panel has to work with: for scale, 1 kWh/m² a day is dim and wintry, while 7+ is desert-bright.

Olho d’Água das Cunhãs receives about 5.2 kWh/m² a day of solar energy on average — bright — with a clear seasonal swing between 4.3 and 6.3 kWh/m².

The brighter stretch of the year lasts 5.4 months, from around Jul 11 to Dec 20. The brightest month is October, averaging about 6.2 kWh/m² (intense).

The dimmest month is April, down near 4.3 kWh/m² — roughly 30% less than the October peak.
