  2. Six's thermometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six's_thermometer

    A maximumminimum thermometer. The scales are Fahrenheit on the inside of the U and Celsius on the outside. The current temperature is 23 degrees Celsius, the maximum recorded is 25, and the minimum is 15; both read from the base of the small markers in each arm of the U tube.

  3. MMTS (meteorology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMTS_(meteorology)

    A Maximum Minimum Temperature System or MMTS is a temperature recording system that keeps track of the maximum and minimum temperatures that have occurred over some given time period. [1] The earliest, and still perhaps most familiar, form is the Maximum minimum thermometer invented by James Six in 1782. [citation needed]

  4. List of weather records - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_weather_records

    Satellite measurements of ground temperature taken between 2003 and 2009, taken with the MODIS infrared spectroradiometer on the Aqua satellite, found a maximum temperature of 70.7 °C (159.3 °F), which was recorded in 2005 in the Lut Desert, Iran. The Lut Desert was also found to have the highest maximum temperature in five of the seven years ...

    Minimum temperature map of the United States from 1871–1888 Maximum temperature map of the United States from 1871–1888. The following table lists the highest and lowest temperatures recorded in the 50 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and the 5 inhabited U.S. territories during the past two centuries, in both Fahrenheit and Celsius.

    The template has rows for "Mean maximum" and "Average high" temperatures, and similarly for "Mean minimum" and "Average low" temperatures. From context I gather that the "mean maximum" temperature is the mean maximum for the month (or year, in the "Year" column), whereas the "average high" is the mean maximum temperature for the day in that month (or full year, for the "Year" column).

  7. Diurnal air temperature variation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diurnal_air_temperature...

    Temperature lag, also known as thermal inertia, is an important factor in diurnal temperature variation. Peak daily temperature generally occurs after noon, as air keeps absorbing net heat for a period of time from morning through noon and some time thereafter. Similarly, minimum daily temperature generally occurs substantially after midnight ...

  8. Mercury-in-glass thermometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercury-in-glass_thermometer

    A maximum minimum thermometer, also known as Six's thermometer, is a thermometer which registers the maximum and minimum temperatures reached over a period of time, typically 24 hours. The original design contains mercury, but solely as a way to indicate the position of a column of alcohol whose expansion indicates the temperature; it is not a ...

  9. Atmospheric temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_temperature

    Average maximum yearly temperature is 28.7 °C and average minimum is 21.9 °C. The average temperature range is 5.7 °C only. Temperature variation throughout the year in Aracaju is very damped, with a standard deviation of 1.93 °C for the maximum temperature and 2.72 °C for the minimum temperature. [6]
