Twelve month analysis of atmospheric averages derived from representative site coordinates
Detailed annual cycle of Poor Knights Islands climate based on NASA POWER measurements collected between 1991 and 2020. This data profile examines monthly fluctuations in mean temperatures, daily precipitation rates, relative humidity, wind velocity, and daylight duration at a representative coordinate. These records provide a strictly historical climatological baseline for the nature reserve and do not reflect current weather or short term forecasts.
