Thanks Jenny for sharing these - I will enjoy looking at them one by one - some errors obviously - mostly easily seen in the barometer averages... we should all be within say 5hPa Nth to Sth depending on the Latitude paths of the Highs and Lows...

The diurnal temp range might be another one to look at too.  Inland vs coastal regions, west vs east.

Thanks again!!

The difference between the average temp low (the nighttime temp) and the average temp high (the daytime temp), ie Ave High - Ave Low.

Eg an average low of -1.6  and an average high of 11.3 =

11.3 - -1.6 = 12.9deg diurnal range

0r another place +2.3 and 14.6 => 14.6 - 2.3 = 12.3deg diurnal range.

This gives the equivalent amount of heating the sun gave for that place.  It will be less for coastal areas  and higher for inland places with a low horizon.
