Calculate a weekly mean

This page documents an earlier version of InfluxDB OSS. InfluxDB 3 Core is the latest stable version.

This example uses NOAA water sample data.

This example calculates a temperature weekly mean and stores it in a separate bucket.

The sample query performs the following operations:

  • Uses filter() to select records with the average_temperature measurement.
  • Uses range() to define the start time.
  • Uses aggregateWindow() to group records by week and compute the mean.
  • Sends the weekly mean to a new bucket (weekly_means).
option task = {
  name: "weekly-means",
  every: 1w,
}

from(bucket: "noaa")
  |> filter(fn: (r) => r._measurement == "average_temperature")
  |> range(start: 2019-09-01T11:24:00Z)
  |> aggregateWindow(every:  1w, fn: mean)
  |> to(bucket: "weekly_means")

New in InfluxDB 3.5

Key enhancements in InfluxDB 3.5 and the InfluxDB 3 Explorer 1.3.

See the Blog Post

InfluxDB 3.5 is now available for both Core and Enterprise, introducing custom plugin repository support, enhanced operational visibility with queryable CLI parameters and manual node management, stronger security controls, and general performance improvements.

InfluxDB 3 Explorer 1.3 brings powerful new capabilities including Dashboards (beta) for saving and organizing your favorite queries, and cache querying for instant access to Last Value and Distinct Value caches—making Explorer a more comprehensive workspace for time series monitoring and analysis.

InfluxDB Docker latest tag changing to InfluxDB 3 Core

On November 3, 2025, the latest tag for InfluxDB Docker images will point to InfluxDB 3 Core. To avoid unexpected upgrades, use specific version tags in your Docker deployments.

If using Docker to install and run InfluxDB, the latest tag will point to InfluxDB 3 Core. To avoid unexpected upgrades, use specific version tags in your Docker deployments. For example, if using Docker to run InfluxDB v2, replace the latest version tag with a specific version tag in your Docker pull command–for example:

docker pull influxdb:2
