Izmir
Izmir is one of the largest cities in Turkey. It is located west of Anatolia.
Izmir is characterized by dry and sunny summers and windy and rainy
winters with the possibility of snowfall.
This illustrates some of the weather elements, such as, long term
temperature, average maximum temperature, average minimum
temperature, average sunshine duration and monthly total precipitation.
The data in the chart was recorded between 1950-2015. The chart shows
the average of each weather element in each month of the year.
The coldest weather of Izmir was recorded between December and
March, and the hottest weather was noted between May and September.
The highest temperature was in July with 33.9 C and the lowest was in
January with 6.2 C.
The duration of the sunshine is generally longer in summer and shorter
in winter because Izmir is located in Northern Hemisphere. In
September it was sunny for 13.4 hours but in December and January that
decreased significantly to only 4 hours off sunlight.
The last element shown on the chart is total monthly precipitation. The
amount of precipitation starts to steady increase from September to
December. From January to June rainfall sharply decreased until July
where there was hardly any rain at all. This is typical pattern in Izmir.
The most Precipitation was recorded in December with 141.1mm and
the lowest was in July with 1.8mm. The average yearly total
precipitation was 690.3mm.

Istanbul
Istanbul is the only city in the whole world which is both in Europe and Asia geographically. It is also one of the biggest cities in the world, with around 15 million population, and it took the name of the most crowded city in 1502.
The Blue Mosque, the Hagia Sophia, and the Bosporus Bridge are the most tourists’ attractions in Istanbul.
The graphs shown illustrate some meteorological elements that occurred in Istanbul between 1950 – 2015.
LMT (Long-term Mean Temperature) (C)
AMAT (Average Maximum Temperature) (C)
AMIT (Average Minimum Temperature) (C)
ASD (Average sunshine duration) (hours)
MTP (Monthly total precipitation) (kg/m^2)
Notwithstanding, the graphs shows various elements which are: Long term mean temperature, average maximum and minimum temperature, average sunshine duration, and monthly total precipitation. Firstly, as the first graph indicates that the highest long term mean temperature occurred in June with an amount of 23.5 C, and the lowest temperature of 5.8 C was in January.
Secondly, 28.4 C which occurred in August was the highest average maximum temperature. Furthermore, the average minimum temperature started decreasing from September till it reached the lowest temperature which equals 3.1 C in January, but we could consider February too, because the temperature was 3.2 C which is almost similar to January temperature.
In addition, it can be seen from the graph that during June, July, and August the amount of average sunshine duration was near to each other’s which equal to 11.7 hours. Therefore, as is shown in the pie graph which is similar to the second columns graph, that the amount of monthly total precipitation decreased from February till it reached the lowest amount in July which equals 31.6 kg/m^2, and from September it started increasing to reach the highest amount of monthly precipitation in December with amount of 122 kg/m^2.
In conclusion, to sum the description of what the graphs shows that usually that highest temperatures occurred in the interval from June to August, and the lowest temperatures are falling from December to February. From the graphs it is clear that there is a relation between the temperature and sunshine duration, because in June, July, and August we found the highest temperatures and highest amount of sunshine duration. Lastly, the highest amount of precipitation occurred in the winter between November and February.

Antalya
Yearly totalprecipitationis 1074.6 Kg / m^2
This dynamic bar graph illustrates the total yearly
precipitation in Antalya from 1950 to 2015. We are
comparing monthly between temperature, sunshine and
precipitation. Overall , the figure shows the number of longterm mean
temperature , average maximum and minimum temperature ,
average sunshine duration in hours and the monthly total
perception in Antalya from 1950 to 2015 , the unit of the
yearly total precipitation is measured in Kg / m^2.
The average maximum temperature in Antalya takes place on
July and August where they have the highest degree
through the years which is 34.2 , while the lowest degree
takes place on January which is 14.9. Since January until July the average minimum temperature goes up from 6 degrees to 22.7 degrees, starting from
August the temperature starts to goes down from 22.7 to 7.5 in December.
The sunshine duration rises between January and July by
approximately 6 degrees and starts to declined from August
to December by approximately 7 degrees.
The monthly precipitation in January was about 240 kg/m^2
, starting from February the number of precipitation had a
slight drop and it reached 150 kg/m^2 by the next two
months the number kept decreasing gradually so in May the
number of precipitation was 40 kg/m^2. The lowest rates
were in July and August where the number was 10 kg/
m^2 , since September and October the number of
precipitation rose by approximately 70 kg/m^2 and it
peaked in December with a 260 kg/m^2 of precipitation.
