Numpy Temperature Analysis

The document provides examples of temperature analysis using a NumPy array called `temps`, which contains daily temperature data for a year. It includes methods for calculating maximum daily temperatures, counting days with average temperatures above 30 °C, plotting temperature trends, and identifying the hottest hour of the year. Additionally, it highlights the advantages of using NumPy over Python lists in terms of speed, memory efficiency, built-in functions, and integration with other data tools.

NumPy Temperature Analysis – Simple

Examples
Suppose we have a NumPy array called `temps` that stores temperatures for 365 days and
24 hours each day (shape: `(365, 24)`).

———————————————————————————————————————
———————————

✅ Example 1: Maximum Temperature of Each Day


Code:

max_daily_temps = np.max(temps, axis=1)

What it does:
Finds the hottest temperature of each day.

`axis=1` tells NumPy to look across the 24 hours of each day.

Result:
An array of 365 values—one maximum temperature per day.

✅ Example 2: Count Days with Average Temp > 30 °C


Code:

avg_daily_temps = np.mean(temps, axis=1)


days_above_30 = np.sum(avg_daily_temps > 30)

What it does:
1. Computes the average temperature for each day.
2. Counts how many days had an average temperature above 30 °C.

Example Result:
125 (meaning 125 days were hotter than 30 °C).
✅ Example 3: Plot Min, Max, and Average Temperatures
Code:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

min_daily_temps = np.min(temps, axis=1)


max_daily_temps = np.max(temps, axis=1)
avg_daily_temps = np.mean(temps, axis=1)

plt.plot(min_daily_temps, label='Min')
plt.plot(max_daily_temps, label='Max')
plt.plot(avg_daily_temps, label='Avg')
plt.legend()
plt.title("Daily Temperatures")
plt.xlabel("Day")
plt.ylabel("Temperature (°C)")
plt.show()

What it does:
Draws a line graph showing daily minimum, maximum, and average temperatures.

Result:
Three curves that visually show temperature trends across the year.

✅ Example 4: Hottest Hour of the Year


Code:

hottest_temp = np.max(temps)
day, hour = np.unravel_index(np.argmax(temps), temps.shape)

What it does:
1. Finds the highest temperature recorded in the year.
2. Determines on which day and hour it happened.

Example Result:
“The hottest temperature was 40.00 °C on day 152 at 12:00 PM.”

💡 Why Use NumPy Instead of Python Lists?


Feature NumPy Python Lists
✅ Speed Vectorized operations are Slower—they use loops
much faster

✅ Memory More efficient for big Higher memory usage


datasets

✅ Functions Built-in `mean`, `max`, You’d need to implement


`sum`, etc. manually

✅ Integration Works smoothly with Less compatible with data


Matplotlib, Pandas, SciPy tools
