# Durations {#Durations}
Rather than give a value in seconds, many durations can be expressed using a shorthand notation.
For example, in a skin configuration file `skin.conf`, a value for `aggregate_interval` can be
given as either
aggregate_interval = 3600
or
aggregate_interval = 1h
The same notation can be used in trends. For example:
<p>Barometer trend over the last 2 hours: $trend(time_delta='2h').barometer</p>
Here is a summary of the notation:
| Example | Meaning |
|---------|--------------------|
| `10800` | 3 hours |
| `3h` | 3 hours |
| `1d` | 1 day |
| `2w` | 2 weeks |
| `1m` | 1 month |
| `1y` | 1 year |
| `hour` | Synonym for `1h` |
| `day` | Synonym for `1d` |
| `week` | Synonym for `1w` |
| `month` | Synonym for `1m` |
| `year` | Synonym for `1y` |
