5.3. Climate graphs.

A climate graph shows the average temperatures and monthly precipitation for a place in a year.

The temperatures are given on the left vertical axis in intervals of 10º C. Precipitation is shown on the right vertical axis in intervals of 20 mm.

When we interpret a climate graph we have to consider:

1- The annual temperature.

2- The annual temperature variation.

3- The months with the highest and lowest temperatures.

4- The annual precipitation.

5- The months with the most precipitation.

Finally, we can infer how many seasons there are and the type of climate represented.

Now, let us get on with it!
