We still have a lot to learn from temperature too: using a mean makes it easy to measure, and we use scales (C/K,F) that are tolerant to a "close enough" precision. A lot of engineering systems could benefit from a similar measure. We just have to invent them.

How much planning impact do the higher percentile temperature measurements? Temperature variance isn’t usually at a level that it impacts behavior (although given climate change that’s a very iffy statement)
