This area chart displays temperature variations in the US over time, with time on the x-axis and temperature on the y-axis. The visualization uses D3 v5’s `d3.area` generator with a basis curve to create the filled path, while `d3.scaleTime` and `d3.scaleLinear` map the data. Axes are rendered via `d3.axisBottom` and `d3.axisLeft`, and the chart is drawn as an SVG. The data is loaded as CSV from a GitHub gist.
