The code does not skip the 1st row with 'cond' and 'section'. The file
is read correctly and the data is appended to the wind and temp lists.
Resulting in the two lists below
wind = [0,30,45,0]
temp = [4,4,32,64]
The line conditions = dict(zip(wind, temp)) creates a dictionary using
the wind and temp lists. In a dictionary each key is unique. The first
key is 0 which is assigned the value 4. The second key is 30 with the
value 4. The third key is 45 with the value 32. The key 0 is assigned a
new value of 64. The result is that the dictionary has three key value
pairs, not four.
