On the left of the history page, you can click on Trends and then near the top click "Last 30 days". Add up the January and December numbers, then divide by 30 to get your average of the last 30 days.

@AmphetamineCrown: Yep, that's the solution I came up with also. Actually, I used this solution for at least 6 months, turning off the hot water in my bathroom. Finally, I had it fixed last Friday.
