Default max min woe

Well here in Aberfeldy my 5th Nov minimum was 5.8 C, which was the temp at
0900 on the 4th

my 2100-0900z (4th-5th) min was 13.2 C but in my wee book goes 5.8 C


That's the problem with 24-hr max/mins. I use a 12-hr period 0800 to 2000
and record the max in one and the min in the other. It gives a better idea of
the "feel" of a day but has its obvious faults too. One the whole I think it
is the less bad of the two systems.
