Does
it feel warmer or colder than last year at this time? Is this a
normal spring or is it earlier or later than usual? What does your
gut say? How could you verify this?
You could save all your weather data from year to year
and compare it. Another way is to compare your hometown information
with national weather and climate maps. Let's start by looking at
just one week.
1) Find the week's average (mean) temperature in your hometown.
Start on Sunday.
Look
in your newspaper to get a daily average.
Add
the daily averages and divide by 7 to get an average temperature
for the week.
