Explanation:

Step1: Check temperature values

We look at the temperature - values for each month. None of the months have a temperature below 65°F. So the number of months with temperature below 65°F is 0.

Step2: Find September temperature

From the data table, the temperature in September is 80°F.

Step3: Identify month with least rain

By looking at the rain - values in the table, we see that January, February, March, November and December have 0 inches of rain. But we need to choose one month. We can choose January.

Step4: Get June temperature and precipitation

In June, the temperature is 85°F and the precipitation is 4.6 inches.

Step5: Determine highest temperature and month

The highest temperature is 91°F and it occurs in April.

Step6: No data for Madrid

There is no data provided for Madrid, so we cannot answer this question.

Step7: Determine hemisphere

Since June, July and August are not the coldest months (they are not the lowest in temperature), the city is in the northern hemisphere.

Step8: Find coldest month

The coldest months in terms of temperature are January and December with a temperature of 77°F. We can choose January.
