The average annual temperature, annual temperature range, and annual precipitation. Introduction: The climate data of Washington, DC is given in following table Jan Feb March April May June July Aug Sep T(Degree C) 1.9 3.6 7.9 13.6 18.8 23.9 26.4 25.6 21.3 P(cm) 7.8 7.4 9.4 8.9 10.9 10.4 11.0 8.7 9.6 Oct Nov Dec 14.7 9.3 4.0 9.6 8.8 8.1 The average annual temperature can be found as Average annual temperature =Sum of temperatures of 12 months/12 Annual temperature range can be found by using following expression Annual temperature range = Temperature of warmest month − temperature of coolest month Annual precipitation = Total precipitation in a year Explanation: Consider the following relation Average Annual Temperature: Average annual temperature = Sum of temperatures of 12 months/12 Substitute the values of monthly temperatures A v e r a g e a n n u a l t e m p e r a t u r e = 1 12 [ 1.9 + 3.6 + 7.9 + 13.6 + 18.8 + 23.9 + 26.4 + 25.6 + 21.3 + 14.7 + 9.3 + 4.0 ] = 14.25 ° C Annual Temperature Range: Consider the following relation, A n n u a l t e m p e r a t u r e r a n g e = T e m p e r a t u r e o f w a r m e s t m o n t h – t e m p e r a t u r e o f c o o l e s t m o n t h = 26.4 − 1.9 = 24.5 ∘ C Annual Precipitation: A n n u a l p r e c i p i t a t i o n = T o t a l p r e c i p i t a t i o n i n a y e a r = 7.8 + 7.4 + 9.4 + 8.9 + 10.9 + 10.4 + 11.0 + 8.7 + 9.6 + 9.6 + 8.8 + 8.1 = 110.6 c m Conclusion: The average annual temperature = 14.25 degree C Annual temperature range = 24.5 degree C Annual precipitation = 110.6 cm
