This time, we take a look at unsupervised learning, specifically `K-Means` clustering. Specifically, read sections 10.1, 10.3.1, and 10.3.3 of the book.

For those wanting to read a little bit more about the purpose of clustering, here are some suggestions for further reading and for inspiration on how clustering can further prove useful: - [Thunderstorm Environments in Europe](https://egusphere.copernicus.org/preprints/2023/egusphere-2022-1453/egusphere-2022-1453-manuscript-version2.pdf) - the authors use clustering to study thunderstorm variables
