So here is how I solved this challenge. First, my code needs to import the JSON module and then open the weather data file. And we've already seen how to do this. So once I've got the weather data loaded and parsed, I'm going to perform the transformation, and I use the map function, which you can see down here, right, and the map function requires a callback to perform the actual mapping from the dictionary format to the tuple format. So my callback function basically takes an average temperature and describes it as a descriptor.
