Answer 1

1. Calculate
   • The total annual rainfall (2mks)
     203
   • The mean monthly rainfall (2mks)
     169.83
   • The annual range of temperature (2mks)
     difference between highest and lowest mean niontaly temperature in year 30-23 = 7°C
   • The mean annual temperature (2mks)
     Mean annual temp = ^{sum mean monthly temperature}/₁₂ = ³¹⁹/₁₂                       
     =26.58°C
2. Using the table indicate the following
   • The wettest month (1mks)
     July
   • The hottest month (1mk)
     October
   • The coolest month (1mk)
     January
