This plot presents the frequency of a given hourly variable being between two inclusive thresholds. The hour is specified in UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) and observations are rounded forward in time such that an observation at :54 after the hour is moved to the top of the hour. This autoplot attempts to consider only one observation per hour.
