Understanding Climographs and Climate Patterns

A climograph is a combination graph used in weather and climate studies, featuring a line graph for temperature and a bar graph or histogram for precipitation. It tracks data over a year, helping to analyze temperature ranges and climatic conditions. By examining precipitation and temperature data, one can determine the climatic condition of a region, such as monsoon or equatorial. The example discussed is from India, showing a monsoon climate with significant rainfall from June to September and temperatures between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius.

What is a climograph primarily used for?
