I solved it myself like this:

xbins = Findgen(N_Elements(data(1,*)))
xrange = [Min(xbins), Max(xbins)]
yrange_wind = [Min(data(4, *)), Max(data(4, *))]
!x.tickname = ['00', '04', '08', '12', '16', '20', '24']
!x.ticks = 6
plot, xbins ,data(4,*), xstyle=1, color=119, $
XRange=xrange, Yrange=yrange_wind
oplot, xbins,data(4,*), color=166
yrange_press = [Min(data(6, *)), Max(data(6, *))]
plot, xbins, data(6,*), xstyle=4, /noerase, ystyle=4, $
XRange=xrange, color=119, Yrange=yrange_press
axis,yaxis=1, color=119
oplot, xbins, data(6,*), color=255
