::::::::::What makes least sense is writing "daily minimum" and "daily maximum" for values compiled from previously agreed times and ambiguously writing "record high" and "record low" for values directly from hourly or more often measurements.

::::::::::: Look, it's certainly possible that there are nuances I haven't followed. I'm not a meteorologist. But what I'm fairly sure of is that, whatever nuances there are, you're not going to capture them by using "high" distinctively from "maximum", or "average" distinctively from "mean". That made no sense at all. --[[User:Trovatore|Trovatore]] ([[User talk:Trovatore|talk]]) 01:43, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
:::::::::::: ''Countries didn't have resources to make measurements 24 times a day from the beginning and meteorologists do not call these observations "minimum" and "maximum".''
:::::::::::: ''The 7:00, 14:00 and 21:00 temperatures are more useful than the minimum and maximum, too.''
:::::::::::: And which countries exactly use this term?Most national meteorological agencies I saw use Daily Maximum/Minimum. Almost none of them use high/low expressions, except for the highest and lowest records. I don't remember if they even mentioned the time of the day they recorded temperatures so using hourly observations would have no use in many countries’ articles either.[[User:PAper GOL|PAper GOL]] ([[User talk:PAper GOL|talk]]) 03:40, 4 May 2024 (UTC)
:::::::::@[[User:IvicaInsomniac|IvicaInsomniac]] I am not sure if complete conceptual accuracy is possible (or even desirable) in naming many of these. Technically speaking, in many cases, "daily mean" is also not a proper daily mean, but the average of the daily max and min.
