'average values',... 'standard deviation'); title(titles(z)); xlabel('Historical Daily Water Level [Day]'); ylabel('Water Level [m]'); end My first graph is supposed to look like this

but instead looks like this

and my other three graphs look fine so I do not know what the problem is

	figure(1)
	subplot (2,2,z)
	if z == 1
		% plot the data and average
		
		plot(x(1:100:end),y(1:100:end),x(1:100:end),avg_y_vector(1:100:end));
		%plot(x,y,x,avg_y_vector);
		patch([1:1:length(y)...
		length(y):-1:1],...
		[y_plus y_minus_reverse],...
		'b',...
		'facealpha',0.05,...% fill colour
		'edgecolor','r',...
		'edgealpha',0.004) % edge colour
	else
		plot(x,y,x,avg_y_vector);
		patch([1:1:length(y)...
		length(y):-1:1],...
		[y_plus y_minus_reverse],...
		'b',...
		'facealpha',0.05,...% fill colour
		'edgecolor','r',...
		'edgealpha',0.05) % edge colour
	% Legend, Title, axis labels.
	end

For first subplot, it seems there are many data points. Use a condition like above with edgecolor having a small value

May be they have changed the webdata for first plot. That's why it's different.

Online data available for first plot seems to have changed than the one you're supposed to get.
