Averages tell you the center; distributions tell you the shape. A month with a mean temperature of 5°C could be consistently mild or could be swinging between -10°C and 20°C — the distribution is what separates those stories.

Inter-Event Gaps
These panels shift from variable distributions to event spacing: the number of days from one qualifying event to the next for rain, snow, frost, heat, fog, gusts, and cloud cover.
