[Matplotlib-users] EXTERNAL: Re: Variability Plots Matplotlib NetCDF4 Data

try stdna.squeeze().plot() ?

I tried to make a minimum reproduction & I can't reproduce the error. Any
chance you can share a binder or how you're getting your data?

This is what I tried:
slp = np.random.random(([1, 73,144]))
stdn = xr.Dataset({'slp': (['month', 'lat', 'lon'],  slp)})
stdna = stdn.to_array()# must convert the xarray "dataset" to "dataArray"!!!

print(stdna.shape)

stdna = stdna.rename('Standardized SLP Anomaly')
ax = plt.axes(projection=ccrs.PlateCarree())
ax.coastlines(lw=1)
stdna.plot()
