Long-term atmospheric patterns including temperature, humidity, and daylight duration
Climate data for the Blackwater, Crouch, Roach and Colne Estuaries Marine Conservation Zone captures twelve-month atmospheric averages based on the 1991 to 2020 NASA POWER climatology period. These measurements reflect conditions at a specific representative coordinate at 9.86 meters elevation. Records include monthly mean, minimum, and maximum temperatures, alongside data for daily precipitation, relative humidity, wind speed, and daylight hours.

See two months side by side and how much they differ. Both use the same 1991–2020 climate normals and NASA POWER data point as the table above, so they show typical conditions, not a forecast.
