Why Is Climograph Important?

Climographs are a graphic way of displaying climate information; specifically, average temperature and precipitation. They are a valuable tool in studying climate, but also can be used to infer connections between climate and human conditions.

Why are Climatograms useful?

In most biomes, temperature and precipitation vary throughout the year. These variations are plotted on graphs called climatograms. Climatograms provide a rough idea of the climatic conditions in a particular area and help scientists understand the demands placed on organisms in the diverse communities on earth.

What is Climograph what do they show?

Climographs show monthly average temperatures and precipitation totals on a single graph. Rather than showing measured data for specific time periods—like the graphs you generated in Part A—climographs show long term averages for all 12 months of the year.
