So in the Report output of my Vantage Pro 2 I have the option to produce the overall mean
temperatures by either:

1. The Integration Method (I presume this just adds all the reported temperatures up and divides
them by the number of reports), or

2. By the simpler (and I presume the Met Office official method) of adding all the Max & Min
temps and dividing them by two.

I am sure I have stated neither of these method in a true scientific manner (maths was never my
forte!!) ----- but!!

Which one should I consider to be the true representative - for both (or either!) accuracy and
for comparison with past data - or are we (like sunshine hours) creating more rods for our back
with all this computer stuff?

And - Help! When we say Mean do we mean Average - I always get confused!
