... but the problem is that the list of the cities changes from file to file, so they are not in the same order every time. Also this method makes it seem like KLM had temperatures of 5 and 8 on days 1 and 2, when the temps were actually observed on days 2 and 3, which is why I have to have commas in there. The file is a csv, so when i read it into a spreadsheet there will be empty cells at times when a temp was not updated for a particular city.

Here's a more elaborate program that should take care of those issues. The script comments should be self-explanatory.
