marine average

The marine average, often called a "monthly average," is a way to summarize weather or ocean conditions over an entire month. It involves calculating the typical value of a specific measurement—such as temperature, wind speed, or wave height—by adding up all daily or hourly readings and then dividing by the number of measurements. This provides a general idea of the usual conditions experienced during that month. Marine averages are useful for sailors, researchers, and planners to understand patterns, assess risks, and make informed decisions related to maritime activities.
