I have 3 columns CITY, DATE, VALUEE(TEMPERATURE). 50 years of daily temperature. How to find longest period with negative temperature with query?

See file Temperature.txt

Best regards, Vlado

Selecting maximum and minimum in a subselect won't help I'm afraid, because there can be positive degrees inbetween. No clue.

Just an idea - hopefully self-explaining... Assuming you have your data already in a table "Temp":

drop table if exists TT;
create table TT like Temp;
ALTER TABLE `TT`
    ADD COLUMN `AI` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT FIRST,
    ADD PRIMARY KEY (`AI`),
    ADD UNIQUE INDEX `UniqueKey` (`City`, `MeasurmentDate`);

insert into TT
(City,MeasurmentDate,Temp)
select * from Temp
order by City,MeasurmentDate;

set @T=0;
select max(ContinousColdDays) into @MaxContinousColdDays
from (
    select AI,City,MeasurmentDate,Temp
    ,if(Temp>=0,@T:=0,@T:=@T + if(Temp<0,1,0)) as ContinousColdDays
    from TT
    order by AI
) t;

select MeasurmentDate as FistColdDay
,date_sub(MeasurmentDate, INTERVAL @MaxContinousColdDays day) as LastColdDay
,@MaxContinousColdDays as MaxContinousColdDays
from (
    select AI,City,MeasurmentDate,Temp
    ,if(Temp>=0,@T:=0,@T:=@T + if(Temp<0,1,0)) as ContinousColdDays
    from TT
    order by AI
) t
where ContinousColdDays=@MaxContinousColdDays;

You're a GENIUS, I don't understand very well QUERY, but it works.

Just one help more, how to query with one City data ?

Ex. WHERE City='London'
