Climate Graphs

• Climate Graphs are very useful in comparing the
  annual temperature and rainfall of places around
  the world. They are very easy to plot and read.
  The simple steps below should show you how to
  draw one and then how to read it

Steps to Plotting Climate Graphs

• 1. Plot on the rainfall as a bar chart, coloured
  blue.
• 2. Plot on the temperature as a line graph,
  coloured red.
• 3. Finish it off by including the following
• - The total rainfall for the year (add all the
  bars together)
• - The temperature range (the difference between
  the highest temperature and the lowest one).
• - The name of the place that the graph is for.

Steps to Plotting Climate Graphs

• The starting point for temperature should start
  from where Decembers temperature dictates
• The end point for temperature should finish
  towards Januarys temperature
• Each months temperature should be plotted in the
  middle of the months column
