Data pre-processing: After acquiring data from above links, we converted any dataset embedded in PDF format to CSV. Using carried functionalities in the CSV file, we sorted all datasets alphabetically based on state names to make later iterations more convenient. Also, we calculated the annual average temperature and added to the original dataset where it was documented by quarter.
