So that I've contributed something other than questions to this discussion, I'll elaborate on Arnoud's response by observing that it's not too late for me to execute this command: SetOptions[Databin["44kLAu9q"], "Interpretation" -> {"temperature" -> "Number"}]

Thanks for the quick and insightful response! I see that my temperatures are strings and I understand the method you propose for generating the plot I was hoping for, but I'm still not sure why I encountered this issue while Arnoud didnt, given the similarity of my code to his.

Instead of using just: CreateDatabin[] I think I should have written: CreateDatabin["Interpretation" -> {"temperature" -> "Number"}] That way, the 'temperature' should come out as regular numbers.

I responded too quickly to Ilian's comments. I think Arnoud's subsequent response has resolved my confusion. Thanks to both of you. This is fun stuff!

This is because the temperatures are strings: for example, the `FullForm` of `samplePair[[2]]` is `"27.64"` (note the quotes are not printed by default). We can get a plot by converting them to numbers.
