MMTS (meteorology)

A Maximum Minimum Temperature System or MMTS is a temperature recording system that keeps track of the maximum and minimum temperatures that have occurred over some given time period.[1]

The earliest, and still perhaps most familiar, form is the Maximum minimum thermometer invented by James Six in 1782.

Today a typical MMTS is a thermistor.[2] This may be read locally or can transmit its results electronically.
