If the temperature for 15th August, 2010 is recorded, which of the temperatures given below would be considered abnormal for the city? (You may choose more than one answer).
The correct options are
B 19.9⁰C
D 34.1⁰C
1980s1990s2000s1980∣251990∣262000∣251982∣281992∣242002∣291984∣271994∣282004∣281986∣251996∣272006∣271988∣261998∣282008∣29Average in 1980s∣26.2Average in 1990s∣26.6Average in 2000s∣27.6
The maximum temperature ever recorded in the city is 29∘C (in 2002 and 2008) and the minimum temperature ever recorded was 24∘C (in 1992). Thus, both options A and C having temperatures of 28.2∘C and 26.7∘C lie within this range,
24∘C<26.7∘<28.2∘C<29∘C
However, option B has a temperature (19.9∘C) that is very much lesser than the minimum temperature ever recorded (24∘C). Similarly, option D has a temperature (34.1∘C) that is very much higher than the maximum temperature ever recorded (29∘C).
Thus, having these temperatures would mean a very abnormal weather in that city considering the climate of that city.
B
19.9⁰C
D
