How Do You Calculate Average Daily Temperature?
Average daily temperature is a climatic measure used to give the user index as to how warm or cold the weather is at any given time. The average of a group of any numbers is calculated by adding together the numbers and then dividing by the number “count” or number of items in the group. Using an average temperature will “filter” out the variability in temperature that occurs from day to night. Record the temperature every hour on the hour for 24 hours, and write down your hourly temperature data on a piece of paper. Using your calculator add each observation to the next until you have the sum of all 24 hourly observations. This will give you the sum of the hourly observations. Divide the sum of hourly observations by 24. This will give you an average daily temperature.
