Hi Shouro, While I have enjoyed the continuing discussion on this particular message (repression may have been a Galtonian slip), there is a lingering doubt in my mind. You say that you want to categorize the weekly temperatures for cities in bins of about 5.6 degrees (centigrade?). In almost all of the cities you include in your sample data (quite a few of which I have personal experience) the variation in temperature over a day, not to mention a week, is more than this. Unless you derive some particular temperature value, many cities will span more than one bin over a week. Have you already calculated a weekly average from your 3 hour observations?
