Elapsed degree-hours for each day

Lab Procedure 2, Step 2: Determine the number of degree hours for each day using the weather

service data. To do this, multiply the average temperature times 24 hours for each day. This can be

performed in a spreadsheet.
• The collection time was 3:00PM on June 20,

this tells us to multiply the first average

temperature by 15 hours instead of 24

• Every other daily average temperature in the

month will be multiplied by 24
