I have data of 15 years as i have attached here, which has the format as: Date, time, Pressure data, Temperature Data.
I want to plot the temperature dataset year over year, lets say on x-axis january-december is labeled i want to plot each year data (just Temperature) with different colored plots on the same graph.
Thanks in advance

Try something like this:
fid = fopen('Mod21_All_Inclusive_Data_Nov2019.txt');
Mod = textscan(fid,'%s %s %n %n');
fclose(fid); % Close the file
Temp = Mod{3};
DMY =cellstr(Mod{1});
HM = cellstr(Mod{2});
DMYHM = datetime(DMY,'InputFormat','MM/dd/yy') + duration(HM,'InputFormat','hh:mm');
Y = year(DMYHM);
yrs = unique(Y);
x_axis = day(DMYHM,'dayofyear') + (hour(DMYHM) + (minute(DMYHM)/60))/24;
fig = figure;
hold on
for t = 1:numel(yrs)
yr = yrs(t);
idx = yr == Y;
plot(x_axis(idx),Temp(idx));
end
XTicks = nan(1,12);
XTickLabels = cell(12,1);
for n = 1:12
dt = datetime(2019,n,01);
XTicks(n) = day(dt,'dayofyear');
XTickLabels(n) = month(dt,'name');
end
ax = gca;
ax.XTick = XTicks;
ax.XTickLabel = XTickLabels;
fclose(fid);

Convert the date information to datetime type and extract just "months" and "days" using the functions, "month" and "day".
This way, you can remove "year" information from your dataset and thus you can line them up in the same x-axis.
