This is not really a weather photo. However, I think this is the most instructive graphics of the 133-year Morris temperature record I could come up with so far. Horizontal axis is day of year (months are labeled). Vertical axis is the year. The color codes the daily temperature range (DTR) for every single day over the whole time period 1886 to 2016. The daily temperature range is the difference between lowest and highest temperature in a single day. If not significant airmass movements occur on this day, this would be the difference between sunrise temp and late afternoon temp.
