As mentioned in my Friday Ashland morning post, each of the previous 13 days
had averaged at or below normal. Here is a list of daily highs/lows during
this period. and average high/low.

An obvious reason is solar heating or lack of the same.

Its you job to come up with a least three more reasons to explain why daily
highs tend to vary to a much a greater degree than daily lows.

Oy. Solar heating (and the lack of it due to cloudiness and such) is the
only reason I came up with.

But solar heating leads to lots of other effects, like winds. Is that a
separate effect, or just part of the solar heating.

I don't know much about meteorology, but solar effects are not limited to
weather - when I was doing GPS simulation I remember the sun creates lots
more radio noise, and destabilizes the ionosphere. Does this translate into
weather effects?

Also, so you see a lot of variability in places other than New England?
Say, in places like Aruba, where the pattern of sun and clouds is pretty
much the same every day?
