Histogram of wind gust speeds
The file akaroawindgusts.txt contains hourly maximum
wind gusts speeds at the Akaroa Electronic weather station (Ews)
through February 2014. Inspect it in any halfway decent text editor
(not Microsoft Notepad, but Wing will do) so you can
see which column contains the wind speed data, how many rows to
skip, and what the column separator (delimiter) is. Then write a
function plot_wind_gust_histogram(filename) that
reads a file in that format and plots a histogram of the peak
wind gust speeds. The graph you get should look like the one
below.
