# This article updates [[AnnualDataSummary|Annual Data Weather article]] contributed by David Jamieson in March 2011.
# A working example of the original Annual Weather Data Summary Ver 1.2. November 2012 Script by David Jamieson (PHP variant), is [http://www.fordingbridgeweather.co.uk/datasummary.php here]; note that example uses a different carrier page (see below) from the Weather Blue set of Alternative Templates available from the French only site [http://meteoduquebec.com/ Météo du Québec] and the international site [http://weatherbyyou.com/demo.php <strong>Weather</strong> <small>by</small><sub>You</sub>].
# This article is called '''Daily Summary''' as it summarises scripts that various authors have contributed that
: Typically these scripts allow the maximimum, minimum, average, or total of a statistic calculated for an individual day to be seen in a table that shows such values for many days often spanning at least one year.
# The scripts mentioned below range quite widely:
* Some are direct descendants of David Jamieson's original idea, in that they read the ''[[dayfile.txt|daily summary]]'' log file that Cumulus creates, and produce an output that looks like a calendar with months heading the columns and one row per day of the month while the internal content shows how a selected statistic varies from one day to another
* However, there are also scripts that are written in PHP and use database queries (typically '''[https://dev.mysql.com/doc/ MySQL]''') to retrieve the required statistics from a database Table containing these statistics with one table row for each day
*# The output from these scripts can be a calendar type table, similar to David's concept, that only shows a
*# The output can be a subset of the database table, in that a number of selected
*# The output can be for a single criterion, and for each day of the month (or year), figures shown for every year available; this allows instant comparison between tha same day in all years
