My class is starting normal distributions today, and I asked them to
name some distributions and say whether they were normal.
One student suggested seasons, such as high temperatures. Those are
more nearly cyclical, but then I got to wondering if there are any
seasonal or climate phenomena that are normally distributed. I can't
think of any, but I wonder if I'm overlooking an obvious example.
Any suggestions?
