The provided material consists of a line graph and a table illustrating the average monthly temperatures and the annual hours of sunlight received by three major cities- London, New York, and Sydney.
Overall, the graph reveals a significant disparity in seasonal patterns in Sydney, which lies in the southern hemisphere, as compared to both New York and London. Another key takeaway is that London receives significantly less sunlight throughout the year than New York or Sydney, both of which receive comparable quantities.
New York and London share a winter period spanning November to February. During this time, temperatures in New York drop to around 4 to 5 degrees Celsius, while London remains comparatively milder at approximately 8 to 10 degrees Celsius. In contrast, Sydney experiences its warmest weather during the same period, often upwards of 25 degrees Celsius.
Out of the three cities, the hottest temperatures are recorded in New York during the span of June to August- the peak of which is approximately 29 to 30 degrees Celsius during the month of July. Similar patterns are logged in London, although considerably milder, maxing at around 22 to 23 degrees Celsius. On the other hand, these are often the coldest months in Sydney with a lowest of 14 to 15 degrees Celsius. Throughout the year, Sydney remains the most stable, experiencing only a variation of close to 10 degrees, while New York experiences the most extreme temperatures out of the three.
New York also receives the most amount of sunlight throughout the year at a documented 2,535 hours. This is followed closely by Sydney at 2,473 hours. London receives a substantially lower amount of sunlight, with only 1,180 hours recorded.
