Convert daily average temperature to hourly temperature

Hi all...

I have daily min max temperature data for a period. I need to convert this daily data to hourly data. Please anyone suggest me a method or code for this.

Thanks in advance

NO.

You cannot.

Do you even have the time-of-day for when the max and min temperatures occured?

Let's take an example from "real life":

1 In the morning the sun was basking at temperatures rose very rapidly.

2a, in the afternoon the temperatures reached X degrees hot.

2b, around lunch a cold-front swept in with heavy rain and Y was the highest temperature around 1130-1200.

1c-2c, not such a hot a day but with steady sunlight we got Y degrees in the afternoon at the same tod as in 2a

This gives you three completely different temperature-curves for the day, and you dont have enough information to conjure up information.

Even if you have the time-of-day for the max and min you dont have more than that. You then could use interp1 to interpolate temperatures between these times but that is guess-work dressed up in fancy dress:

T_madeiuppy = interp1(t_all,Temp_all,t_all(1):(1/24):t_all(end),'pchip');

The pchip method at least respects the max and min-values of the data.

Convert the data to a timetable() object, and use retime()

You may have to assume something along the lines that the high occurred at 3pm and the low occurred at 7am. https://ownyourweather.com/hottest-and-coldest-time-of-the-day/
