Climate Graphs
Climate graphs should include:
Right vertical axis = rainfall in millimetres (mm)
It doesn't necessarily matter which side of the graph the rainfall scale and the temperature scale go.
Column graph = Precipitation shown by 12 vertical columns (without gaps) for each month.
Line graph = Temperature shown by a line. It may have on line for the mean temperature or two lines showing the minimum and maximum temperatures.
The key shows what the line and columns stand for.
- X axis (horizontal) = shows the months of the year
