The line graph shows the daily temperatures in Brisbane and Canberra – two Australian cities – throughout the year, while the bar chart focuses on the rainy days in the same cities. Overall, Brisbane experiences higher temperatures than Canberra, with both cities seeing lower temperatures from May to September, while winters are relatively hot. Monthly rainy days in Brisbane also far exceed those in Canberra, especially in the first months of a year, except from June to October, when there are a lot of rainy days in Canberra. Notably, precipitation spikes with higher temperatures in Brisbane, whereas the reverse is true for Canberra.
To begin with average temperatures, the pattern of temperature decline and rise is broadly similar in both urban areas. Despite this, Brisbane witnesses extreme heat in January and February, when temperature surges to 28-30 at maximum compared to 27 degrees in Canberra. By July, the figures gradually decline, reaching about 20 and 10 degrees Celsius before rising to 30 degrees in December, respectively. Meanwhile, minimum temperatures tend to be around 8 degrees Celsius lower than maximums, with Canberra recording the coolest season during summer months, when the temperature is about zero degrees – 10 degrees Celsius lower than it is in Brisbane during the same period.
As far as rainy days are concerned, Brisbane undergoes a heavy rainy season from December to March, when it is expected to rain for around 2 weeks. However, this number steadily decreases as spring and summer begin, with only around 7 rainy days in summer. By contrast, the number of rainy days is somewhat consistent in Canberra, as the city experiences around a week of precipitation every month but in summer months and in October, when there are 10 days of rain.
