What you say makes no sense.
You don't add up the temperature on successive days, which sounds like what you're thinking about.
Look at it this way. You measure the temp of your refrigerator, set thermostat at 34F and you never open the door. Day 1, the temp ranges from 28F to 45F as the fridge settles down to a stable temp. On days 2 and future days, temp ranges from 30F to 36F. You can go on as long as you like, there will never be another high record or low record set. Even through you are adding extra days to the "population" in yourspeak.
