The given table compares data on the minimum and maximum temperatures alongside the length of daylight on the same weekend in Mumbai and Moscow during May 2007.
What is most striking when looking at the table is that, on average, Mumbai’s temperatures were substantially warmer than Moscow’s, which sustained relatively low temperatures throughout that weekend. Additionally, Moscow’s sunlight duration was noticeably greater than that of Mumbai, with an early sunrise and a later sunset.
First, concerning the respective temperatures of the aforementioned cities, whereas Mumbai’s temperature range remained virtually unchanged from Friday to Sunday, with the minimum temperature being 15 degrees and the maximum being 33.3 degrees, varying by only around 0.1 degrees. By comparison, the patterns for these three days in Moscow were significantly more diverse, with Friday being the hottest day at 17 degrees, and Saturday being the coldest at merely 2 degrees. Interestingly, the day with the smallest temperature range was Sunday, with an 8-degree gap between the maximum and minimum temperatures, while this figure was 12 and 11 degrees for Friday and Saturday, respectively.
Turning to the statistics on daylight duration, a similarly stable trend can be observed in this aspect for Mumbai, mirroring its stability in temperatures, whereby the average number of daylight hours was approximately 13 hours per day. Specifically, the disparity in sunrise time across the weekend was only 2 minutes, with the sun rising at 6.01, 6.02, and 6.00 a.m., respectively, on each day. The same can be said for sunset time, as this ranged from 7.02 to 7.04 p.m. Meanwhile, in Russia, Moscow’s sunrise hours were comparatively earlier than in Mumbai, India, with Sunday being the earliest at 5.20 a.m. and Saturday being the latest at 5.24 a.m. In stark contrast, sunset hours were roughly 3 hours later than Mumbai’s: the average sunset time in Mumbai was 7.02 p.m., and in Moscow it was 10.01 p.m., resulting in nearly 17 hours of sunlight on that weekend.
