Mean temperature
= Mean temperature
{title2=$\overline T=\tau^{-1}\int_0^\tau T(t)\,dt$}
An average of a specified <temperature> record over a stated interval or ensemble. For a time mean, observations must represent elapsed durations: irregularly spaced readings generally require time weighting. The half-sum of a daily maximum and minimum is a conventional daily statistic and need not equal the continuous time mean.
