I know from experience that the daily high in July in Detroit is very
rarely below 70 or above 100. The fact that its average is 82 F seems
about right to me. I looked at another source, and the average temperature
for each day ranges from 83 to 85. That same source lists the
July daily average temperatures for Kaneohe, HI, as 81 or 82 F.

I'm surprised/disappointed that you can't believe the simple
mathematics involved.
