Climograph

Climograph- a graphical representation of the average monthly precipitation and temperature at a given location. 




A climograph is an easy way to get a feel for the weather in a location. It does not show specifics, but rather monthly temperatures and precipitation. The precipitation is graphed with bars, and the temperature is represented with a line graph. Reading one y-axis gives the amount of precipitation, and reading the other gives the temperature. This graph is for Honolulu, Hawaii, and shows the coordinate location, elevation, and total annual precipitation and average annual temperature at the bottom.
