Climographs



A climograph is a graphic representation of the temperature and precipitation rate, typically spanning over a length of time, for a particular area.

This climograph shows the rainfall and temperature for Mazatlan, Sinaloa.  The temperature is indicated by the data dots with the red line and precipitation with the blue bars.  From this climograph it is easy to see that there is a short "rain season" and the area stays relatively dry the rest of the year.
