The chart compares average figures for temperature and precipitation over the course of a

calendar year in Kolkata.

💡 Answer:
It is noticeable that monthly figures for precipitation in Kolkata vary considerably, whereas
monthly temperatures remain relatively stable. Rainfall is highest from July to August, while
temperatures are highest in April and May.

Between the months of January and May, average temperatures in Kolkata rise from their
lowest point at around 20°C to a peak of just over 30°C. Average rainfall in the city also rises
over the same period, from approximately 20mm of rain in January to 100mm in May.

While temperatures stay roughly the same for the next four months, the amount of rainfall
more than doubles between May and June. Figures for precipitation remain above 250mm
from June to September, peaking at around 330mm in July. The final three months of the year
see a dramatic fall in precipitation, to a low of about 10mm in December, and a steady drop in
temperatures back to the January average.

Model Answer II
The graph illustrates about median point comparison of heat degree and rain rate in the yearly
period in Kolkata.

In general, there are two parameters, temperature and precipitation, which are used in the
chart and monthly data for the whole year.

The precipitation rate starts at almost 10 mm. This value slightly rises until May with 100 mm.
After that, it increases significantly in the next month to 250 mm. Then pick up about 325 and
steadily in July and August. In contrast, this number drops to about 300 in the next period and
begins to decline rapidly in October and continues until December with a final rate of about 2
mm.

The temperature itself has slightly inclined since the first period. After steadily about 30
degrees, then down smoothly until October with about 28 degrees. Moreover, the value to
continues drop gradually in November and December with about 20 degrees last year.
