First of all, the number of word is 152, just meet the demand. So I would say you should write more for a higher score.

Temperatures (shown as dot line) increase sharply from average temperature of 20 degrees in January to average temperature of 30 degrees in May.

I wouldn't say "sharply" here. And it is obvious there is a changing trend at the point of October. I guess you can add it .
