The figure below presents a compact representation of the sun's elevation (the angle of the sun above the horizon) and azimuth (its compass bearing) for every hour of every day in the reporting period. The horizontal axis is the day of the year and the vertical axis is the hour of the day. For a given day and hour of that day, the background color indicates the azimuth of the sun at that moment. The black isolines are contours of constant solar elevation.

The figure below presents a compact representation of key lunar data for 2023. The horizontal axis is the day, the vertical axis is the hour of the day, and the colored areas indicate when the moon is above the horizon. The vertical gray bars (new Moons) and blue bars (full Moons) indicate key Moon phases.

We base the humidity comfort level on the dew point, as it determines whether perspiration will evaporate from the skin, thereby cooling the body. Lower dew points feel drier and higher dew points feel more humid. Unlike temperature, which typically varies significantly between night and day, dew point tends to change more slowly, so while the temperature may drop at night, a muggy day is typically followed by a muggy night.

The perceived humidity level in Belém, as measured by the percentage of time in which the humidity comfort level is muggy, oppressive, or miserable, does not vary significantly over the course of the year, remaining a virtually constant 100% throughout.

This section discusses the wide-area hourly average wind vector (speed and direction) at 10 meters above the ground. The wind experienced at any given location is highly dependent on local topography and other factors, and instantaneous wind speed and direction vary more widely than hourly averages.

The windier part of the year lasts for 4.6 months, from August 27 to January 16, with average wind speeds of more than 3.3 miles per hour. The windiest month of the year in Belém is October, with an average hourly wind speed of 4.0 miles per hour.

The average water temperature does not vary significantly over the course of the year, remaining within 1°F of 83°F throughout.

To characterize how pleasant the weather is in Belém throughout the year, we compute two travel scores.

Methodology

For each hour between 8:00 AM and 9:00 PM of each day in the analysis period (1980 to 2016), independent scores are computed for perceived temperature, cloud cover, and total precipitation. Those scores are combined into a single hourly composite score, which is then aggregated into days, averaged over all the years in the analysis period, and smoothed.

Our cloud cover score is 10 for fully clear skies, falling linearly to 9 for mostly clear skies, and to 1 for fully overcast skies.

Our precipitation score, which is based on the three-hour precipitation centered on the hour in question, is 10 for no precipitation, falling linearly to 9 for trace precipitation, and to 0 for 0.04 inches of precipitation or more.

Belém, sometimes called , city and port, capital of Pará estado (state), northern Brazil. It is situated on Guajará Bay, part of the vast Amazon River delta, near the mouth of the Guamá River, about 80 miles (130 km) up the Pará River from the Atlantic Ocean. Its climate is equatorial, with an average annual temperature of 80 °F (27 °C) and an annual rainfall of 86 inches (2,175 mm).

In 1616 the fortified settlement of Feliz Lusitânia, later called Nossa Senhora de Belém do Grão Pará (Our Lady of Bethlehem of the Great Para River) and Santa Maria de Belém (St. Mary of Bethlehem), was established, consolidating Portuguese supremacy over the French in what is now northern Brazil. Belém was given city status in 1655 and was made the state capital when Pará state was separated from Maranhão in 1772. The early decades of the 19th century were marked by political instability. Uprisings and internecine strife were finally ended in 1836, after considerable loss of life.

The sugar trade was important in the Belém region until the end of the 17th century. Thereafter the city's economic importance alternately rose and fell. Cattle ranching supplanted sugar until the 18th century, when cultivation of rice, cotton, and coffee became profitable. With the settlement of southern Brazil, where such crops could be produced more reasonably, Belém declined again. The city subsequently became the main exporting centre of the Amazon rubber industry, and by 1866 its position was further enhanced by the opening of the Amazon, Tocantins, and Tapajós rivers to navigation. The rubber era terminated after the boom of 1910-12, but Belém continued to be the main commercial centre of northern Brazil and the entrepôt for the Amazon basin.

The most valuable products now exported from the Amazon by way of Belém are aluminum, iron ore, and other metals, nuts (chiefly Brazil nuts), pineapples, cassava, jute, wood veneers, and hardwoods. Japanese immigration after the 1930s was an important factor in developing jute and black pepper, notably at Tomé-Açu, just south of Belém, and near Santarém. Marajó Island, the largest fluvial island in the world, which lies just across the Pará River from Belém, has some livestock grazing. Electricity is provided by the massive Tucuruí Dam, some 200 miles (300 km) southwest of the city on the Tocantins River.

The north's leading educational and cultural centre, Belém has a modern appearance with tree-lined streets, several plazas and public gardens, and many noteworthy buildings. It is the seat of a bishopric, and its cathedral (Igreja da Sé, founded in 1917) is one of Brazil's largest. Santo Alexandre, the oldest of Belém's churches, was built in 1616. The Museu (museum) Paraense Emílio Goeldi, the Teatro da Paz (a classical theatre), and the public library and archives are notable institutions. The Universidade Federal do Pará (1957), a teacher-training school, an agricultural institute, and an institute for research on tropical diseases are also in the city. The Ver-o-Peso (Portuguese: "See the Weight") market in the old port centre is a major tourist attraction. The city is home to a large football (soccer) stadium.

Belém is the host of the annual Círio de Nazaré, one of the world's largest celebrations honouring the Virgin Mary, who, as the Virgin of Nazaré, is the patron saint of Pará. The highlight of the 15-day festival occurs on the second Sunday of October, when the city welcomes more than one million pilgrims who come to participate in a procession that follows an image of the Virgin of Nazaré throughout Belém.

Belém is the main port for Amazon River craft and is served by international and coastal shipping and by inland vessels south to Brasília, some 1,275 miles (2,050 km) away. Paved roads extend to Piauí and Goiás states. A railway leads 145 miles (233 km) east-northeast to Bragança. Belém's international airport is northern Brazil's largest. Pop. (2010) 1,393,399.

Due to how close Brazil is to the equator its daylight hours stay the same all year. This is beneficial to the sea life and area because it keeps very consistent and helps plant life and vegetation to thrive. This then attracts other fish and helps contribute to the ecosystem.

The water temperature in Brazil stays very warm all year. It stays at a constant 83F until June and July when it reaches up to 84F. Due to the very consistent water temps it would have made life for the early settlers much easier because the fish could stay all year and they would be able to catch fish much easier. The warm water also allows for plant and ecosystem life to thrive.

The water in Belem is very fresh, with the port usually staying on average at 1.45ppt when normal ocean water is much much higher. This fresh water is a direct result of the ports proximity to the amazon river. This river supplies the port with high amounts of fresh water. This would have drastically changed the ecosystem and life in the water.
