Wandering 10917 maximum temperature audit

At Wandering 10917 from 14 December 1998 to 31 December 2011, maximum temperature recordings of .0 Celsius degrees represented 36.2% of the total and .5C recordings represented 6.8% of the total of all fractions since 1972. Together, .0C and .5C represented 43% of all maximum temperatures recorded since 14 December 1998.

Wandering Comparison 10648 raw temperature audit

Station opened 2 November 1901 audit to 30 January 2003

Wandering Comparison 10648 maximum temperature audit

At Wandering Comparison 10648 from 2 November 1901 to September 1972, whole .0 Fahrenheit degrees represented 36% of all maximum temperatures recorded and .5 Fahrenheit degrees represented 8.1% of all maximum temperatures recorded.

1907-1972 represented 69.9% of the time span and had 48% of .0C and 20.8% of .5C maximum temperatures within the entire temperature record.

From September 1 1972 to 30 January 2003, maximum temperature recordings of .0 Celsius degrees represented 23.6% of the total and .5C recordings represented 16.6% of the total of all fractions since 1972. Together, .0C and .5C represented 40.3% of all maximum temperatures recorded since metrication.
