When do highs occur?
Posted: 17 Nov 2008 06:18 AM
Last Friday, we featured the favored times of rainfall. Today we featured the favored times of day when the high temperature occurs. This plot has a number of interesting features including the increased chance of the high temperature coming at midnight during the winter season. This is often associated with air mass changes with a steady feed of colder air during the day. Another interesting feature is the shift of high temperature shown between Feb/Mar and Oct/Nov. This is due to the change of daylight savings time. The hourly time axis on the plot is in local (standard/daylight) time depending on the time of year.
