Humidity comfort

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.

In Licenciado Benito Juárez, how humid it feels changes dramatically over the year.

The more humid part of the year lasts 6.6 months, from around May 7 to November 23. The muggiest month is June, when the air feels humid, muggy or worse about 100% of the time.

The most comfortable stretch runs from around November 24 to May 6, and January is the most comfortable month — the air is dry or comfortable 86% of the time.

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.

Licenciado Benito Juárez receives about 5.7 kWh/m² a day of solar energy on average — bright — with a clear seasonal swing between 4.1 and 7.8 kWh/m².

The brighter stretch of the year lasts 4.8 months, from around Feb 24 to Jul 19. The brightest month is May, averaging about 7.8 kWh/m² (intense).

The dimmest month is December, down near 4.1 kWh/m² — roughly 47% less than the May peak.
