Question 1 Report
Which month in the station has the highest rainfall?
This question requires reading rainfall data from a climate table and identifying the month with the highest recorded rainfall at the station.
The table provides monthly rainfall values (in mm) for the station as follows:
| Month | Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | Jul | Aug | Sep | Oct | Nov |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rainfall (mm) | 62 | 50 | 56 | 89 | 180 | 189 | 140 | 163 | 228 | 230 | 83 |
Comparing all the monthly rainfall values, October records 230 mm, which is the highest figure in the entire table. September is close at 228 mm, but October exceeds it by 2 mm.
The other options can be ruled out by direct comparison. July records only 140 mm, September records 228 mm (second highest but still less than October), and January records just 62 mm. None of these surpass October's 230 mm total.
The correct answer is October.
When answering climate data questions, always compare every month's value carefully rather than estimating visually. In this case, September and October are very close (228 vs 230 mm), so a hasty reading could lead to selecting the wrong month. Precision in reading tabulated data is essential.
