The graph and table below show the average monthly temperatures and the average number of hours of sunshine per year in three major cities.

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparison where relevant.
The graph here presented describes, during the
year
, the medium temperature registered every month in the cities of
London
, New
York
and
Sydney
. The table,
instead
, indicates the sum of all the
hours
of sunshine in one
year
in the same cities. In the graph, at first sight, it is clearly shown that
while
in
London
and New
York
, the temperature’s curves have a similar escalation, with an increase from
January
to July and a decrease from July to December, in
Sydney
it is the exact opposite. It is interesting how the temperatures in New
York
, compared to the ones in the other two cities, reach both the highest and lowest peaks: it’s registered an average of 30
degrees
in July and 5
degrees
in
January
and December.
London
follows a similar pattern to the one of the Big Apple
,

but with less cold
January
, February and December. **
Although
**, from April to November, the temperatures in
London
do not reach the ones in New
York
, but still increase until a peak in July of 25
degrees
.
Sydney
instead
, starts its
year
with a hot
January
, but
then
the temperatures start to decrease until a below in July of 15
degrees
. It is visible how even the lowest temperature registered in
Sydney
of 15
degrees
is far from the cold 5 and 10
degrees
in
London
and New
York
. Regarding the total
hours
of sunshine in a
year
, New
York
shows the highest average, with the amount of 2,535
hours
, **immediately** followed by
Sydney
with a
similarly
high number.
That is
not the case for
London
, the British capital only registered 1,180
hours
where the sun shined.
