"Mean maximum" and "Average high"

There has been some confusion over these terms in the past - e.g. see discussion at Template talk:Weather box/Archive 4#Average low and high, and Template talk:Weather box#Please clarify "mean maximum" vs "average high".

I get the impression that the terms are synonymous, but used in different countries. As the Australian BoM's definitions (see Climate statistics for Australian locations - Definitions for temperature) uses only "Mean maximum" and not "Average high", "Mean maximum" is the only term that we should be using, and not both terms simultaneously, as you have been doing, as if they are somehow different.

You have only added to the confusion by mislabelling the BoM's "Mean maximum" figures as being "Average high", and "Decile 9 maximum temperature" figures as being "Mean maximum" figures (and ditto for the low temperature figures). Please fix this on the pages you have already edited, before tackling any new articles. Cheers, Bahudhara (talk) 15:31, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
