Background
What is Temperature?
...
From about 4pm local time each day, the highest temperatures recorded between 9 am and 3 pm at sites across Australia are analysed onto grids. The highest temperature recorded at stations between 9am and 3pm is a good guide to the maximum temperature recorded for a day.
Other specifications
Citation | Interpolated Thermometer Maximum/Minimum Air Temperature 1-Day Australia 5km Gridded |
Data source | Bureau of Meteorology |
