low (°F) -35 -38 -34 -15 1

which month has the greatest range in the temperature?
what is the range in temperature of that month?​

Answer 1

To find the month with the greatest temperature range, you need to calculate the difference between the high and low temperatures for each month and then identify the month with the highest difference.

Here are the differences for each month:
- Month 1: 56°F - (-35°F) = 91°F
- Month 2: 57°F - (-38°F) = 95°F
- Month 3: 56°F - (-34°F) = 90°F
- Month 4: 72°F - (-15°F) = 87°F
- Month 5: 82°F - 1°F = 81°F

The month with the greatest range in temperature is Month 2 (February) with a range of 95°F.
