The line chart illustrates the average monthly maximum and minimum temperatures measured in degrees Celsius in Brisbane and Canberra, while the bar chart presents figures for the average number of days with precipitation every month in the two Australian cities mentioned over the same period.
Overall, both Brisbane and Canberra experience a clear seasonal pattern. Temperatures decrease significantly from winter to a trough in late-summer, before increasing steadily again, whereas in Brisbane, February and March have the highest number of days with rainfall while the highest number of precipitation days in Canberra occurs from June to October (except September).
At the beginning of the year, minimum temperatures in Brisbane and Canberra remain at 21°C and 13°C, respectively. Both measures afterwards decline gradually through the spring, with minimum values reaching about 13°C in Brisbane and 3°C in Canberra in May. The coldest conditions occur in July for both Brisbane and Canberra, when the minimum temperatures hit the bottom at the respective figures of approximately 10°C and 2°C. From August onwards, both cities rise sharply, returning to winter levels in December. Maximum temperatures, meanwhile, are modest at around 27-28°C for both of the Australian cities in January, before reaching the trough of 21°C for Brisbane and 11°C for Canberra in July. The figures then surge, eventually returning to their former position at the end of the year.
