Daily Temperature change at an Oklahoma Mesonet station

 

During the springtime in Oklahoma, sunny and dry days can lead to big changes in temperature throughout the day. The maps below show the minimum and maximum daily temperatures across Oklahoma on April 17, 2018.

 

 

 

Plot the hourly data for Alva, Oklahoma (a town in the northwest part of the state) and identify the minimum, maximum, average, and range of the data for this day. (Hint: Use the x-axis for time and the y-axis for temperature.)
