How can I solve this datetick error?

attatched file is sea.txt, it will work changing to sea.dat
I'm trying to plot this graph,
however, my graph plots like this.
I'm trying to convert julian date using datetick, but I have no clue what have I done wrong.
xlabel keep goes 01~01
I just need 2019 jan data, so I sliced like that.
clc
clear all
close all
fnm='sea.dat';
fid=fopen(fnm,'r');
data = textscan(fid, '%s%f%f%f%f%f%f%f', 'HeaderLines', 1, 'Delimiter',',');
all = [data{2:8}] ;
atemp = all(1:744,6);
apres = all(1:744,7);
date_str=data{1};
sample_date=date_str(1:744);
j_date=datenum(sample_date);
n_date=datevec(j_date);
x = j_date;
x1 = j_date(1:24:744);
figure
%%
y1 = atemp;
y2 = atemp(1:24:744);
subplot(2,2,[1 2])
plot(x,y1, 'k--')
dateformat = 7;
datetick('x', dateformat)
title('Weather at Observatory')
grid on
hold on
plot(x1,y2,'g*')
xlabel('Date (2019. Jan.)')
ylabel('Air temperature (℃)')
hold off
What have I missed in this case?

Please share the data file you are working with (i.e. sea.dat). Use the paperclip button to attach.

The datetick function uses MATLAB datenum values to calculate and plot the dates and times.
A much simpler approach uis to use the datetime function and the readtable function—
T1 = readtable('sea.txt', 'VariableNamingRule','preserve')
T1 = 8760×8 table

Thanks for helping. However, I got a little problem.
Actually, my file is on other language and I can't change the language of heatherlines by the way.
Because of this reason, I can't use your code
Lv = (month(T1.time) == 1) & (year(T1.time)== 2019);
is there any other way with using datetick?
You can calculate ‘Lv’ using column references (note the use of curly braces {}) rather than variable names:
Lv = (month(data{:,1}) == 1) & (year(data{:,1}) == 2019);
Also, you can rrefer to the variablle names by reference to the ‘VN’ cell array, as I do here.
data = readtable('sea.txt', 'VariableNamingRule','preserve')
data = 8760×8 table

As always, my pleasure!
All of that is good stuff, but these data cry out for a timetable, i.e. the readtimetable function. Everything else stays more or less that same, but when you are done plotting against time, you may find that a timetable makes the other things you want to do easier.
T1 = readtimetable("https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/uploaded_files/1555502/sea.txt", VariableNamingRule="preserve")
