Climograph




This is a climograph for London, England which shows the representations of the amount of precipitation and temperature. This type of graph makes it easier for us to quickly view when the temperature is cold or hot and when it will be raining. For example the map shown here indicates that during the months of May through September seem to be the hottest and months January, August, October and November are when the most rain is falling. Notice that the temperature in celsius and the precipitations is in millimeters. 

To read this kind of map first you find the month you want to view then look up locate where the bar graph ends and go to the left to figure out how much precipitation there was. next go back to the same month find where the line graph falls follow it to the right to see what the average temperature.
