(Negative numbers mean amount of water needed, positive numbers mean excess water is present).   6 Sun Spots - Data from WDC-SILSO, Royal Observatory of Belgium, Brussels.   9 Solar Index represents either an absolute scale of solar energy (W/m²) using the station’s recorded maximum or a percentage of computed theoretical solar maximum using the station’s location and time of day. These indices differ most when the sun is low on the horizon. The current scale is shown, and will toggle if it or the icon is clicked.   10 Historical average only to day 26 of just the month of May for this station since 2008.   11 Historical average rain this season to day 26 of May for this station since 2008.

 Weather Definitions, Weather and Earth Facts  
Fact 5 - HUMIDITY
Humidity or relative humidity measures the amount of water vapour in the air relative to the temperature. It is important in weather because humidity affects how humans feel. A hot, humid day feels hotter because we cannot sweat as effectively. A cool, dry day feels colder because moisture evaporates more easily.
