Annual Temperature Cycles
Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
This Demonstration looks at the cycle of temperatures through a calendar year in a certain location. The maximum and minimum daily temperatures are plotted, averaged over a number of years from the starting year to the most recent full year, 2008. Seasonal fluctuation is the most pertinent feature of the plot.

Details
To keep the calculations simple, the annual averages are not truly averages over all the data in all the included years. In particular the February 29 temperatures in leap years are simply discarded.
