In regions such as the Southwest, the Carolinas and Georgia, Sunday and Monday had a consistently larger daily temperature range than other days, with Fridays being the day with the smallest difference between high and low. In many communities the difference in range between weekend and weekdays was nearly 1 degree Fahrenheit (0.5 degree Celsius).<br \/>\nBut the weekend effect wasn\u2019t always the same. Many localities in the Midwest had reverse effects, with smaller temperature ranges on the weekend than weekdays.
