The Weather Manager Peaks and lows settings for the selected weather profile are used to display information about the peaks or sunniest and hottest times of the year and the lows or dimmest and coldest times of the year.

SettingDescription
Peak solar (absolute) For the selected weather location, displays the greatest amount of solar irradiances or energy received per unit area. The Date field displays the date and hour when the peak solar (absolute) is experienced.
Low solar (absolute) For the selected weather location, displays the lowest amount of solar irradiances or energy received per unit area. The Date field displays the day and hour of the year when the low solar (absolute) is experienced.
Peak solar (averaged) For the selected weather location, displays the greatest amount of solar irradiances or energy received per unit area averaged over a day period. The Date field displays the date when the peak solar (averaged) is experienced.
Low solar (averaged) For the selected weather location, displays the lowest amount of solar irradiances or energy received per unit area averaged over a day period. Displays the day and hour of the year when the low solar (averaged) is experienced.
Peak temperature (absolute) For the selected weather location, displays the hottest temperature. The Date field displays the date and hour when the peak temperature (absolute) is experienced.
Low temperature (absolute) For the selected weather location, displays the coldest temperature. The Date field displays the day and hour of the year when the low temperature (absolute) is experienced.
Peak temperature (averaged) For the selected weather location, displays the hottest temperature averaged over a day period. The Date field displays the date and hour when the peak temperature (averaged) is experienced.
Low temperature (averaged) For the selected weather location, displays the coldest temperature averaged over a day period. The Date field displays the day and hour of the year when the low temperature (averaged) is experienced.
Tip: Units Display – Units are displayed using the default system of units that was defined for the project, but can be changed to display using alternative units.
