Due to the ongoing "fun" associated with wagering on ASOS temperatures, this page attempts to show an audit path on which products go into figuring out a given airport station's daily high and low temperature. This page only works for stations having NWS CLI product coverage. This audit path includes raw METARs, METAR 6 Hour max/min values, Daily Summary Messages (DSM)s, CLImate Reports (CLI), and CF6 Reports. This is all unofficial data and is not intended for gambling purposes!
Select a station/date and load audit data.

Application Notes
- "High Frequency" MADIS data is not used due to reporting in whole degree C and not using standard two minute averaging.
- The NWS computes this over a local standard day, so 1 AM till 1 AM local during daylight saving time. This app attempts to account for that.
- It is sometimes vague what happens with the METAR report that occurs just before midnight local for the start of the period. This app considers the temperature report, but not the 6 hour max/min reported at this time.
