Why the ranking follows the surface
All 272 zones take air, humidity and rain from the same IDEAM meteorological station, Universidad del Magdalena on the map. In August that station reads 31.1°C air, 72.8% humidity and 35.6 mm of rain. Because the air is the same in every zone, this month’s order follows the ground.
The August mean for Santa Marta sits at 47.3°C. A single satellite day can run cooler or hotter; the 13th reached 29.8°C and the 29th 55.6°C.
