I am totally digging wikipedia's new weather box features, mean maximum and mean minimum.
Example: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Diego
Where was this data before it was on Wikipedia? Also they haven't added the data to every city yet, so I'm still waiting for Los Angeles' data.
Nice. It makes me wonder if this was always a possibility though. I'd add it for NYC/Long Island, but the last time I made edits to the climate section someone changed most of it back to the way it was, which was inaccurate.
Here. All locations are there.
But use this post to see map and better link to it.
Those are where the official data is. Being that anyone can edit Wikipedia, it's a joke. (Yes I know you have to provide a source). Unless you literally double back and check all Wiki's data to see if its legit (which I don't doubt at times) then use caution and use the official and legit source as I just linked to instead. It's really simple.
I've noticed this days ago
I've always wanted to see this feature, because I've thought "How cold/hot does it get there?". Before that, I usually did (Average Low + Record Low)/2
I have to admit that it was pretty accurate most of the times, comparing to the current boxes.
In WolframAlpha you can get the year values for mean maximum and mean minimum by searching "temperature in [location]" and selecting all instead of current week in the chart below:

Mean cloud cover should have been a feature. Overcast or clear skies does make a big difference in the high latitudes in winter. A substantial part of the short days will see the sun too low to register on a sun recorder - and there will be daylight or civil twilight before and after sunset for a much longer time if the skies are clear. Often with nice bluish light on the sky. So clear days will be a lot lighter.
In summer on warm days with high sun, clouds can be nice, even better than clear skies if it is warm anyway. This is mostly something I experience further south in Europe, in warmer summer climes than where I live.
And I would like the weather box to include mean snow cover (in cm and inch). Snow cover sure is something you notice and impacts almost any activity outside. How come this is still missing?

Cool. I'm fiddling around there now. What year set do you think they're putting on wiki? 1981-2010?
