In researching Boston's climate via the Climate Consultant software, I have stumbled across several questions. I am early in the process, so I am sure more will come.
1. Does "annual' mean average in cases such as temperature and windspeed where there is an average low for each month and a record low for each month? I notice there are also "design" lows, which I am not sure what those refer to.
2. Would annual percent of sunshine be the opposite percent of annual cover?
3. For fun- did anyone notice the "record" low for January temperature in Boston was 6 degrees? I'm pretty sure it was colder than that when we were there this past January.
I have learned that dry bulb temperature is what we think of as air temperature. Wet bulb temperature has to do with the cooling effects of water.

anne, this is an excerpt from a comment that I posted on Karrick's blog that deals with one of your questions...
"concerning the average % sunshine, I know that the "climate consultant" program states that the annual sky cover is 58%, but I questioned that so I looked up some other resources on the web and they stated that Boston has 58% annual sunshine.... I listed 58% in my analysis for sunshine, but am still pretty unclear which is correct..."
