How to calculate the average temperature of a day?

There are three methods to calculate the daily average temperature: four timed averages, daily maximum and minimum averages and 24-hour averages.

1 4 timing average

The so-called four-timing average method is to add the temperatures at 02: 00, 08: 00, 14: 00 and 20: 00 in a day, and the average is the average temperature of a day (that is, four temperatures are added and divided by four). ?

2. Daily maximum and minimum average values

The so-called daily highest and lowest average method is to use the average of the highest and lowest temperatures of the day as the average temperature of the day (that is, the two temperatures are added and divided by two).

3.24 hour average

The so-called 24-hour average method is to add the temperatures at 24 time points throughout the day, and the average is the average temperature of the day (that is, 24 temperatures are added and divided by 24).

Extended data:

In addition to the daily average temperature, there are also the average temperatures of five days, ten days (10 days), months and years to express the changing characteristics of temperature in different periods. The meteorological department conducts observation every 6 hours at 02: 00, 08: 00, 14: 00, 20: 00 (Beijing time) or at 02: 00, 05: 00 and 08: 00.

1. Average temperature of a certain day: the average of the highest and lowest temperatures of a certain day.

2. Monthly average temperature: the average of the average temperature for many days in a month.

3. Average temperature in a certain year: the average of the average temperature for many days (or months) in a certain year.
