Climograph


     A climograph shows how precipitation and temperature correspond during different times of the year. The precipitation is given in bar graph format and the temperature is plotted like a line graph. Together, these two characteristics create the climograph. This example shows the correspondence of precipitation and temperature for Rwanda from January to December with the rainfall measured in inches. With this type of graph, we can easily see that there is a greater amount of precipitation when there are lower temperatures in Rwanda.
