Forecasted temperature time period definitions
« on: May 23, 2025, 10:44:12 AM »
What is time period definition for daily forecasted temperatures - Day, Night, Hi, Lo, Evening, Overnight?  What is the time period for the forecasted temperatures for a given "day"?

For instance at my location in Michigan at this time of year, the low temperature for the 24 hour period from 12am to 12am defined as that official "day" has been occurring around 6am of that "day" official time period.  Is the "Low" forecasted temperature for a given "day" the temperature from around 6am of the 12am to 12am period defined for that official day?  Or is the "Low" forecasted temperature actually the lowest temperature from the morning of the next official "day" typically around 6am ("overnight low??").   

I have been using Weather.com so I would like to know what their definitions are but also want to know how all the major reporting channels define these.
