Hello.

The answer is: In Saint Petersburg, annual temperatures average between 61°F and 83°F.

The first option is incorrect because thats thetemperature of one day but climate is year round. The second option is incorrect because that is also talking about one week. Those are short peroids of time that wont discribe the years weather so therfore " In Saint Petersburg, annual temperatures average between 61°F and 83°F." is correct.

Have a nice day

Correct Answer is: In Saint Petersburg, annual temperatures average between 61°F and 83°F.

Explanation:

Climate refers to an average of the Weather measurements over a minimum of 30 years, Measurements about Temperature, Pressure, and precipitation are obtained by instruments such as Pluviometers and thermometers that are continually measuring the weather.

Daily, weekly and Monthly measurements and averages are most useful to Meteorologist who seek to understand the atmospheric interactions in a given space and time, in the other hand the Climatologist would find yearly measurements more useful because, with the yearly averages on temperature, precipitation, etc, he would be able to understand the climatic patterns on a more regional scale.
