November Daily Sunshine

Posted: 22 Nov 2021 05:24 AM

Outside of the windy conditions, the weather this past weekend wasn't all that bad with sunshine and pleasant temperatures. The featured chart presents daily solar radiation totals from the ISU Soil Moisture station near Ames at the Ag Farm west of town. The daily total solar radiation values are presented along with a simple modeled maximum value based on latitude and date of the year. Three of the past four days have seen totals around the max, which would indicate sunny conditions for the day. The downward slope of the max value line is evident as each day features fewer total time of sunshine and a decreasing incidence angle.
