The lattice package is really usefull to represent multiple time series like this R chart of daily weather measurements taken at the University of Birmingham.

Good afternoon,
Thanks for the script, it works perfect. How can I do to show on the x-axis every month of every year and not just some of them?
Many thanks in advance.

Nice graphs, but I am new to R, the website is fantastic.
