SAMPLE ANSWER
The line chart illustrates the monthly changes in the average temperatures in a year while the table compares the total amount of time of sunshine annually.
Overall, temperatures in London and New York had a similar pattern in which there were great differences between the hottest and coldest months. Besides, while those cities overcame the higher temperatures in summer months, Sydney temperatures were downward in these months and tended to be hotter by the turn of years. In addition, New York was the city having the longest daylights when London experienced the shortest ones.
On the one hand, Sydney was the hottest city in January with the average temperature hovering around 26 while those of London and New York were about 5 and 8 respectively. Nonetheless, in July, the temperature in New York soared and peaked at approximately 30 followed by about 23 of that in London. Meanwhile, the average temperature in Sydney was stable until March and then reached the lowest point in July. Afterwards, those figures gradually returned to the initial point and started a new cycle.
On the other hand, there were only 1,180 hours of daylight in London which was the smallest one compared to the remaining cities. By contrast, Sydney was inversely proportional to London sunshine hour which was 2,473. New York recorded the largest number of hours of daylight which was 2535.
