Band 5+: You should spend about 20 minutes on this task. The graph and chart below give information on the average daily maximum and minimum temperatures in degrees Celsius (°C) and the average number of days with rainfall each month for two Australian cities. Write a report for a university, lecturer describing the information shown below. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant. You should write at least 150 words.

The provided line chart and bar chart provide an overview of the average daily highest and lowest temperature in degrees Celsius and the average sum of rainy days in each month for two Australian cities namely Brisband and Canberra.

In both temperature brackets, Brisband had the higher recorded average temperature. Brisband’s maximum average daily temperature illustrated a notable variation across the different months. At the beginning of the year, there was a notable rise reaching a peak value of 30 degrees Celsius in February before remarkably declining to a nadir of 21 degrees Celsius in April. This was followed by a moderate increase to 23 degrees Celsius in May before gradually increasing again until the end of the year. The rest of the average daily temperatures showed similar discernible pattern of moderate decline starting at the beginning of the year, plummeting in July before gradually escalating until the end of the year.

Notably Canberrs had the greater number of days with rainfall for the period spanning June-October while Brisbane had the greater amount of rainy days over the other seven months.
