Adding units on my axis

I need to add degrees on my ylabel and percentage on my xlabel as per picture. The code i used only adds percentage on my ticks instead of my labels. How can i do that without compromising my entire code. Afterwards i have to collect statistics and their results needs to show those units as well e.g Mean humidity in %

x = 0:10:100;
y = rand(size(x));
plot(x, y)
xtickformat('%.1f%%')

When you asked the question, you accidentally omitted the picture, so I do not have anything to compare against.
Also we do not have your data values, and we do not know how you computed them, so we have no idea what you mean by the results yeilded don't have those units. If your temperature values are in (say) Rankine, then convert them to Celcius before plotting.

Another option starting in MATLAB R2023b is to use the secondary label properties to indicate units.
x = 0:10:100;
y = randn(size(x));
plot(x, y)
xlabel('Humidity')
ylabel('Temperature')
xsecondarylabel('(%)')
ysecondarylabel(['(',char(176),'C)'])
