I removed corrupt climate data

Removed climate data showing Aleknagik with an impossibly narrow range of temperatures ... only 58F for the highest *ever* and only 17F for the coldest temperature ever. also far warmer overall than nearby Dillingham. This is a longstanding problem that seems to appear most often on small towns that few people can accurately estimate the climate of without living there. even i had to look it up just to be sure it wasnt due to a very short observation period such as one year where it just never got hot or cold the whole year. but its not that ... wxbase claims 30 yrs of obs ... so its just wrong. it isnt just highly unlikely but actually IMPOSSIBLE that the avg high in july could be 54 while the highest recorded temperature in june over thirty years is also 54. if anyone doubts me, please explain. I would like to add data from https://wrcc.dri.edu/cgi-bin/cliMAIN.pl?ak0201 when i get a chance. —Soap— 19:33, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If anyone *still* doubts me, note that the wxbase site claims it regularly snows in May and October despite never, *ever*, having gotten below freezing in those months. —Soap— 19:35, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's too bad that someone had to go the trouble of typing that weatherbox up in the first place .... there's no automated method for it ... only to have it be entirely incorrect. Unlike the occasional vandal who just copies in a weatherbox from a different town and makes up the numbers they want. Weatherbase is the problem here.... they should be avoided. —Soap— 22:59, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I should add, perhaps, that the data I added for this town is from Desert Research Institute, an academic database which is directly taken from the original observations and thus much more reliable. —Soap— 23:01, 31 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Update

An IP has done some good work with this weather box .... they added in a mean temperature row and refined the sigfigs to 1/10 of a degree. On the data itself ... I was using the smoothed data and the IP is using the raw data, so both of us are correct even though the numbers are different. —Soap— 02:14, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
