The line graph and table present monthly average temperature variations and annual sunshine hours for three cities: London, New York, and Sydney.
Overall, New York experiences the largest annual temperature range, Sydney demonstrates opposite monthly temperature trends due to its Southern Hemisphere location, while London has the shortest sunshine hours – less than half of either New York or Sydney.
First, examining the monthly temperature trends: New York has the coldest winters, with January averaging below 5°C, rising gradually to peak near 30°C in July before declining monthly back to around 5°C by December. London’s temperature fluctuations are milder, increasing from approximately 9°C in January to 24°C in July, plateauing in August, then returning to about 10°C in December. Sydney shows the reverse pattern: its temperatures remain slightly above 25°C from January to March, gradually cooling to a low near 15°C in July before rebounding to 25°C by December.
Annual sunshine hours also differ significantly: New York and Sydney have nearly identical totals at 2,535 and 2,473 hours respectively, with New York holding a slight lead. London trails far behind with only 1,180 hours annually, significantly less than half of either city. These datasets highlight distinct climatic characteristics for the three geographically dispersed cities across different continents.
