RECENT ADDITIONS TO STATISTICS LIST

 

  1. I have slightly re-structured the way my Minimum and Maximum Air Temperature books are ruled up. This will enable more in-depth and faster error checking for me.

 

  1. I have now begun calculating weekly average Minimum and Maximum Temperatures plus Total Rainfall figures. This is in conjunction with the Port Stephens Examiner’s schedule – taking my readings from Tuesday to Monday each week.
