03 / TURN THE DATA INTO A BETTER QUESTION

Weather is one part
of the stay.

The climate pattern helps you compare months. Your home, dates and available services decide the actual experience.

01 / YOUR HOME

Ask about heating, cooling and shelter.

Which rooms have heating and cooling? Can you use the terrace comfortably in wind? Ask about the actual home, including windows, shading and exposed outdoor areas.

Keep answers in your home question file ↗
02 / YOUR DATES

Confirm which services will be open.

Ask about food, pools, restaurants, shops and maintenance during the whole stay. A warm month does not establish that a business or shared facility is open.

Read dated service listings ↗
03 / YOUR TRAVEL

Check the forecast near departure.

Use the current forecast for the destination and your travel dates. Ask the host for access and arrival arrangements. Check local sea guidance on the day before water activities.

Read hotel status and reservation routes ↗
04 / RENTAL PLANS

Use real booking evidence for income.

Warm weather does not tell you occupancy, nightly rates or net income. Ask for dated booking records, operating costs, seasonal closures and the exact rental rules.

A regional pattern, with clear limits.

The request uses the accepted Ras El Hekma cape reference: 31.24704° N, 27.85414° E. The source meteorological grid is 0.5° latitude by 0.625° longitude. It covers broad regional conditions. It is not a weather station at your building or a measurement of its beach.

Data, calculations and credits

NASA POWER monthly API v2.10.0, MERRA2/POWER source header, complete years 1991–2025. Reviewed 13 October 2026. Monthly temperature and outdoor humidity refer to 2 metres; wind refers to 10 metres. Historical model data, not a forecast or direct station record.

For each selected period, every calendar month averages the year-month values equally: 10 years for 2016–2025, or 30 years for 1991–2020. The periods overlap in 2016–2020. This comparison is not a statistical test of a climate trend. Shading shows the lowest to highest monthly mean in the period, rather than daily high/low temperatures or forecast limits.

Rain: returned corrected daily mean in mm/day × actual days in that same month. The input is rounded to 0.01 mm/day, so monthly totals are approximate; a displayed zero does not promise no rain. Wind: m/s × 3.6 = km/h. Humidity differences use percentage points, not a percentage change.

Annual summary keys ending in 13 are excluded. All 420 monthly records are complete; the API fill value is rejected. The API rounds the returned coordinates to 27.854° E, 31.247° N. They are not used as an inferred grid centre, boundary or weather-station position. No sea temperature, gust, wave, sunshine-hour, indoor comfort, energy-cost or rental-yield figure is supplied.
