Graphing Skill: Drawing a Climograph

---

• how the temperature changes throughout the year
• how the amount of rainfall varies during the year.
  

• a line graph which shows the temperature change throughout the year
• a bar graph which shows the amount of rainfall throughout the year.

1. Give the climograph a title, which includes the name of the place where the graph is drawn for.
2. Draw a frame if it is not done for you. The frame should look like this:
3. Use the scale up the left hand side to draw the temperature line graph. Plot the temp figures in the middle of the month’s space on the axis. Draw a free-hand, smooth, continuous line to join the points from January to December in pencil initially, and then in red.
4. Use the scale up the right hand side to draw the rainfall bar graph. Plot the rainfall figures and draw bar graphs from January to December in blue. Each bar should fill the space for that month.
