Adding a second x_axis entry above the header
How do I move my subheading title so that the second axis does not write to the top title, but below instead? This is what it looks like
And here's a piece of code:
# fig is a subplotAxes object
fig.set_ylabel('Altitude (km)')
fig.set_xlabel('Time')
fig.get_xaxis().set_major_formatter(mpl.dates.DateFormatter('%H:%M:%S'))
cbar_label = 'Total Attenuated Backscatter 532nm (km$^{-1}$ sr$^{-1}$)'
cbar = pfig.colorbar(im)
cbar.set_label(cbar_label)
# create second axis
ax2 = fig.twiny()
ax2.set_label('Latitude')
ax2.set_xlim(latitude[0], latitude[-1])
# set title, but title is overwritten
fig.set_title("Averaged 532 nm Total Attenuated Backscatter")
I don't know if this could be the reason for my shape size or a simple formatting error. I would not like to expand the size of the shape as this plot lives inside a Tkinter window

Since your heading applies to the entire figure, not just the subheading, @ György Solymosi's answer is probably the way to go (instead of adding a newline, which is kind of a hack).
Alternatively, you can move the title text to wherever you want it, eg. raising it by 5%:
title = fig.set_title("Flying monkey density")
title_xy = title.get_position()
title.set_position([title_xy[0], title_xy[1]*1.05])
