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

Average hourly UV index in Ciudad Miguel Alemán
Modeled clear-sky UV for every hour of every day — when in the day sun protection actually matters.
The whole year hour by hour: each column is a day, each row an hour, and the color is the modeled clear-sky UV index — the midday peak scaled down as the sun sits lower in the sky. Darker overlays mark night, lighter ones the civil-twilight hours around sunrise and sunset.

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.
Ciudad Miguel Alemán receives about 5.2 kWh/m² a day of solar energy on average — bright — with a clear seasonal swing between 3.1 and 7.0 kWh/m².
The brighter stretch of the year lasts 6.3 months, from around Mar 21 to Sep 28. The brightest month is July, averaging about 6.9 kWh/m² (intense).
The dimmest month is December, down near 3.2 kWh/m² — roughly 54% less than the July peak.
