1. degree daynoun

   A measure of heating or cooling, computed as the integral of a function of time that generally varies with temperature.

2. degree daynoun

   A unit used in estimating the fuel consumption for a building; equal to the number of degrees that the mean temperature, for a 24-hour day, is below the base temperature, often 65F.

1. Degree day

   A degree day is a measure of heating or cooling. Total degree days from an appropriate starting date are used to plan the planting of crops and management of pests and pest control timing. Weekly or monthly degree-day figures may also be used within an energy monitoring and targeting scheme to monitor the heating and cooling costs of climate controlled buildings, while annual figures can be used for estimating future costs.

1. degree day

   A degree day is a unit of measure used in climate studies and building construction industry to quantify the demand for energy needed for heating or cooling. It is calculated by comparing the mean daily outdoor temperatures to a standard base temperature (often 65 degrees Fahrenheit or 18 degrees Celsius). If the average outdoor temperature is above or below the base temperature, there is a degree day for each degree of difference. The formula is: Degree Days= (Base Temperature - Mean Daily Temperature) If the mean daily temperature is above the base temperature, it is considered a cooling degree day. If it's below the base temperature, it's a heating degree day. The higher the degree day figure, the higher the demand for energy needed for heating or cooling.

1. Degree day

   A degree day is a measure of heating or cooling. Totalized degree days from an appropriate starting date are used to plan the planting of crops and management of pests and pest control timing. Weekly or monthly degree-day figures may also be used within an energy monitoring and targeting scheme to monitor the heating and cooling costs of climate controlled buildings, while annual figures can be used for estimating future costs. A degree day is computed as the integral of a function of time that generally varies with temperature. The function is truncated to upper and lower limits that vary by organism, or to limits that are appropriate for climate control. The function can be estimated or measured by one of the following methods, in each case by reference to a chosen base temperature: ⁕frequent measurements and continuously integrating the temperature deficit or excess; ⁕Treating each day's temperature profile as a sine wave with amplitude equal to the day's temperature variation, measured from max and min, and totalling the daily results; ⁕As above, but calculating the daily difference between mean temperature and base temperature; ⁕As previous, but with modified formulae on days when the max and min straddle the base temperature.

   That beat a( daily high temperature) record from 1916. The previous record for May 7 was 97, that also represented the earliest 100-degree day here in Amarillo.
