I need help with #'s 5, 6 & 7

We will use data in and outside of Mount Pleasant in order to determine if there is an urban warming signal between the city of Mount Pleasant and the surrounding rural area.

Date	7/06	7/07	7/08	7/09	7/10	7/11	7/12	7/13
Time	4 PM	4 PM	4 PM	4 PM	4 PM	4 PM	4 PM	4 PM
MTP Temp (F)	90	79	77	82	78	87	84	86
MTP RH	43	61	33	45	62	45	53	51
Rural Temp (F)	87	76	74	79	75	85	80	83
Rural RH	50	69	41	48	69	49	66	60

You will need to use the rural station and urban station with values for each day. In urban environments the materials used have lower albedos, and thus absorb more radiation. Also, in urban environments precipitation does not have a chance to go into ground storage/sit at the surface and there is less vegetation, so evapotranspiration is low. This means excess solar energy is used for heating the surface instead of ET. Let's look at the data and see if surface temperatures and humidities are warmer/drier in the urban areas.

1.Plot thetemperature, at the urban station and the rural station (2 lines on plot). Connect the points from the urban station with a solid line and connect the points from the rural station with a dashed line.

Temperatureat Urban and Rural locations: (be sure to label the x and y axis as appropriate)
