Atmospheric data for a representative coordinate, tracking twelve-month patterns.
The climate profile for Dassen Island presents long-term averages for temperature, precipitation, humidity, wind, and daylight hours, derived from NASA POWER measurements for the 1991 to 2020 period. These values characterize the atmospheric environment at a specific coordinate within the nature reserve. Monthly data series offer a structured view of historical weather patterns, distinct from active meteorological forecasts or whole-park climate variations.
