Practice objective / multiple choice question 2 from the 2017 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Geography examination.
Monthly mean temperatures (°C) and rainfall (mm) for the first six months of a region are given:\n\nJan (31 days): \(T=24\), \(P=20\)\nFeb (28 days): \(T=25\), \(P=15\)\nMar (31 days): \(T=27\), \(P=10\)\nApr (30 days): \(T=28\), \(P=5\)\nMay (31 days): \(T=30\), \(P=2\)\nJun (30 days): \(T=31\), \(P=0\)\n\nThe monthly potential evapotranspiration (PET) can be estimated by\n\[\text{PET}=0.6\,T\,\frac{N}{30}\;(\text{mm})\]\nwhere \(N\) is the number of days in the month. For each month calculate the water‑deficit \(D = \text{PET} - P\) (if negative, treat as zero). Which month experiences the greatest water‑deficit, and what is its value (to one decimal place)?
