The two graphs depict the temperature and the average amount of hours the sun shines in two Australian cities (Melbourne and Darwin) in the duration of a single year.
Overall, the pattern of temperature in both cities is similar, peaking during the summer, and then slowly decreasing towards the beginning of winter. Regarding the average number of hours of sunshine, Melbourne largely reversed the aforementioned trend of temperature, having the shortest hours of sunshine over the summer, and then climbing in winter. However, in Darwin, the amount of hours the sun shines corresponds to the temperature.
Darwin and Melbourne both start at their lowest points in January, 6 degrees Celsius, and 18 degrees Celsius, respectively. After that the figures experience gradual growth to their respective highest points, Darwin being the hottest throughout the entirety of the year, reached 30 degrees in August. One month before that, in July, Melbourne reached its peak temperature at 18 degrees, which was the starting point for Darwin. Subsequently, the temperatures consistently fell down little by little, finishing at 21 degrees in Darwin and just below 9 degrees in Melbourne.
As for the sunshine hours, Darwin was initially lower than Melbourne, but then overtook it, going from 6 hours in January all the way up to approximately 11 hours through the months of June to September. Ultimately, the hours witnessed a dip to 8 hours by the end of the year. Melbourne did not follow that trend, in fact, the trend was largely reversed. In January, the sun shun for 10 hours on average in Melbourne, then that number dropped to just 6 hours in May, and stayed the same until September. Followed by a rebound to 10 hours in December that year.
