(During those years, 60.5 degrees was the record maximum daily temperature average).
Summer, with an average maximum daily temperature of 29C, is peak season on the island but winter is relatively warm, with highs of 19C dropping to 9C overnight.
Maximum daily temperature inside of roosts was the best microclimatic predictor of bat visitation.
Differences between observed and simulated values of maximum daily temperature in McDowell Creek were less than 0.3 °C.
The maximum daily temperature during the cultivation was between 34 and 41 °C, while the maximum light intensities were between 810 and 870 W/m2 (Fig. 2).
The inclusion of the maximum daily temperature and daily mean relative humidity makes the model much more sensitive to climatic and weather changes.
The model was then used to estimate temperature distributions in an adjacent watershed, Hamilton Creek, where differences in maximum daily temperature were 1 °C or less.
The result showed that the increase in the maximum daily temperature in the rift valley floor was well correlated with forest and woodland cover decline (R2 = 0.62), whereas the maximum daily temperature in the escarpments/highlands was poorly correlated with forest and woodland cover decline (R2 = 0.14).
The current heatwave saw the average maximum daily temperature across Australia reach 40.3C (104.5F earlier this weekk, breaking the previous record of 40.17C registered in 1972, David Karoly, one of the report's authors, told the AFP news agency.
They found that parents of both sexes uttered these calls only during the end of the incubation period and when the maximum daily temperature rose above 26°C (78.8°F).
Over the period 1971 2000, the mean daily minimum temperature during January was -3.6°C and the mean maximum daily temperature in August was 24°C (PRISM Climate Group 2012).
