CLIMATOGRAMS

Ø  Climate is the average pattern of weather conditions that occur in a region over a period of years.

Ø  Temperature and precipitation are two important factors that determine climate

Ø  A climatograph is a graph of climate data for a specific region. A climatograph gives average temperature and average total precipitation for

each month.
