Pandas Melt Function

The document discusses the pandas melt function. [1] It loads weather data for different cities and displays the dataframe. [2] It uses melt to reshape the dataframe, setting the 'day' column as the id variable and creating 'variable' and 'value' columns. [3] It then accesses the melted data for specific cities. [4] Finally, it renames the 'variable' and 'value' columns to more descriptive names of 'City' and 'Temperature'.
