I'm currently following Python Crash Course book, and one task from Chapter 16 is to make part of my code able to go through csv's and read the high and low temperatures of locations. The example code gives the python the index TMAX and TMIN, but they are different indexes in each csv.

The try it yourself section says to edit the code so that it can read either csv without specified index.

I have two tables: one has a list of weather stations near major cities and the distance to the city, and the other has weather averages for each weather station. I want to do a join such as showing weather data from the station closest to San Francisco.

Example table distances:

and thank you for the help.

Currently the rnoaa package in Program R gives you an output as a list. You can access the data in this list easily; however, I would like to alter the way the data is coming out. It currently is not in the format that is usable to me. I have animal relocations, and I am trying to give each animal relocation a assigned value of temperature that was recorded on the day of the location.

Currently the head of my animal dataframe looks like this:

I have daily values of precipitation and temperature for a period of several years. I would like to compute the average of the precipitation and temperature for each month of the year (January to December). For precipitation I first need to calculate the summation of daily precipitation for each month, and then compute the average for the same month for all the years of data. For temperature I need to average the monthly averages of the values (so an average of all the data for all the months gives the exact same result). Once this is done I need to plot both sets of data (precipitation and temperature) using abbreviated months.

I cannot find a way to compute the precipitation values and to be able to obtain the sum for each month and to then average it for all years. Furthermore, I am having trouble to display the format in abbreviated months.

This is what I have tried so far (unsuccessfully):

I am trying to make a graph that shows the average temperature each day over a year by averaging 19 years of NOAA data (side note, is there any better way to get historical weather data because the NOAA's seems super inconsistent). I was wondering what the best way to set up the data would be. The relevant columns of my data look like this:
