- Describe what the graphs are showing about the weather
- The higher the temperature, the less rainfall there is
- There's no rainfall in the months of June, July and August and the tempertaure is above 30C
- Include

- During the day the sun's rays beat down on the ground making it warm
- There are no clouds to shade the ground from the sun
- There's no way to trap the heat so it is cold during the night
- The air is heated too
- The heat escapes at night due to no cloud cover
- During the day the sun's rays beat down on the ground making it warm
