Explanation / Answer

The climatic conditions are highly related to the latitude of that place. The places located near to the equator are warmer than the ones located farther from it due to the variability in the amount sunlight in them. Such places which are located in close vicinity to the equator experiences higher fluctuations temperature as compared to the other ones. Also the rate of precipitation for each case would also effect the humidity of the place.

Keeping in mind the climographs given in the question are of the following place-

i) The place shows variation in temperature but precipitation, therefore it must be a very dry place and high variability in temperature but in the positive way. Therefore the climate is almost subtropical. Therefore the condition satisfies the place Lima.

ii) The place shows considerable rainfall and throughout the year there is rainfall. The temperature is also varying. Therefore the climate is humid and rainforest. This satisfies the place of sydney.

iii) The place shows rainfall but less than the one shown in figure ii. Therefore it must in close affinity than the one shown in the figure ii. Therefore the place is perth.

iv) This place shows a great temperatures and highly humid conditions as the precipitation rate is very much higher than the other ones mentioned. Therefore it must be very close to the equator. This is because the amount of heat is directly proportional to the extent of evaporation and hence the condensation is also very high. Therefore the climate is Humid and Tropical. Therefore the place is Singapore.
