`stat_bin()` using `bins = 30`. Pick better value with `binwidth`.

Warning: The following aesthetics were dropped during statistical transformation: fill.
ℹ This can happen when ggplot fails to infer the correct grouping structure in
  the data.
ℹ Did you forget to specify a `group` aesthetic or to convert a numerical
  variable into a factor?

Be sure to write a brief description of the plot you have created, what the plot shows, and what code you used to make this modification.

In my histogram above I used the summer temperature from May to September to show the difference in Solar Radius between the months. I transformed my months label to the average temperature in the months. I also added the purple border to make the histogram more engaging.
