The average temperature for the day, as recorded in the dayfile.txt, is calculated by Cumulus using samples of the data taken at 1-minute intervals (sometimes called the 'integration method'). This offers an alternative to the simple average of the highest and lowest temperatures of the day, and can give a 'better' average in cases where the high or low temperature occurred for a relatively short period, so could skew the simple average.
