Compare the weather in two different cities on the same day. City A has a temperature of 75°F with clear skies, while City B has a temperature of 60°F with heavy rain. What can you infer about the weather conditions in these locations?

• City A is likely to have more precipitation than City B.

• City B is experiencing more precipitation than City A.

• Both cities have the same weather conditions.

• City A is colder than City B.
