Example of weather report :
Well, for those of you who went out today, I don't have to tell you it was clear, but muggy for most of the state, with the high temperatures in the low to mid 90s. The city of Elkview had the high for the day of 97 degrees. And that's hot. I'm glad I'm working indoors today!
For those of you planning outdoor activities tomorrow, you can expect fair skies for most of Saturday with temperatures in the high 90's. However, things might change by Saturday evening with a storm front moving in. We can expect light scattered showers over the northern part of the state bringing slightly cooler temperatures in the eighties, but this rain should taper off by mid Sunday morning. It will be partly cloudy for most of the morning, but these clouds should move out by mid-afternoon.
Skies should be clear Sunday night for those wanting to catch a glimpse of the partial lunar eclipse. It should start at 10:47 pm. And that's all for today's weather. 

Table

How to make table?
  1. Observing the table title
  2. Observe the columns in the table
  3. Found significant differences in the data, either the highest, lowest, and average
  4. Draw conclusions from the data presented in the table

Bar GraphsIs a type of graphs which contains labeled horizontal or vertical bars showing a piece of information and an axis. This is also called histogram, bar graphs is useful when there is a numerical comparison.
 

Line Graphs
Is a way of representing two pieces of information, which is usually related and vary with respect to each other. This is useful when comparisons  are needed.
