I've been tracking daily high temperatures in this city for four weeks, and let me tell you, plotting this data on a histogram has been quite the eye-opener. Each bar on my chart represents a different temperature range, and the height shows how many days fell into each range.

In week one, most days hovered around the mild 70-75°F mark. Not too hot, not too cold, just perfect for a light jacket. Moving into week two, things heated up a bit, with the majority of days landing in the 76-80°F range. I could feel the difference, swapping my jacket for short sleeves.

Week three threw us a curveball. Temperatures spiked, pushing the mercury above 85°F on several days. Those bars on my histogram stretched tall, marking an unexpected heatwave. I found myself reaching for the nearest fan, trying to stay cool.

By week four, temperatures mellowed out, settling back into the comfortable 70-75°F range. It was as if nature hit a reset button, bringing back the mild weather I enjoy.

Plotting these temperatures on a histogram not only helped me visualize the fluctuations over the past month but also prepared me for what to wear each morning. Trust me, in this city, knowing whether to grab a jacket or a fan before heading out makes all the difference.
