Code to reproduce the "Temperature Circle" visualization.
#
# Hi all,
# this is the Python code I used to make the visualization "Temperature circle"
# (https://twitter.com/anttilip/status/892318734244884480).
# Please be aware that originally I wrote this for my tests only so the
# code was not ment to be published and is a mess and has no comments.
# Feel free to improve, modify, do whatever you want with it. If you decide
# to use the code, make an improved version of it, or it is useful for you
# in some another way I would be happy to know about it. You can contact me
# for example in Twitter (@anttilip). Unchecked demo data (no quarantees)
# for year 2017 Jan-Jul is included here and this code draws only a single image.
# The animation code is basically just a loop through the years. To keep
# it simple, I only included one year here.
#
# Thanks and have fun!
# Antti

Hello Antti;

Being new to python how would one "loop through the years" with additional data? Could I possibly get an example of the above with say 2 years to see how to do it?

Thank you

Dan Raymond
