Band 7+: Question You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. The following table contains information about average monthly highest and lowest temperatures in London and Manchester in a period of six months. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.

This table compares the average highest and lowest temperatures every month between London and Manchester, beginning in July and ending in December. Overall, both cities experience a significant drop in temperature from July to December, something quite expected.

Among the last six months of the year, London and Manchester have the highest average temperature in both July and August, at 23 and 20 degrees respectively. December is the coldest month in both cities, with the average lowest temperature going down to 5 degrees in London and 4 degrees in Manchester. Both cities seem to follow the same pattern in dropping temperature: from August to September, the average highest temperature drops by three degrees, while from September to November it drops by four degrees.

However, we can notice that overall Manchester is slightly colder than London, having an average temperature that is usually three degrees lower every month. The only month that both cities have a difference of only one degree is in December.
