Climograph map

maxpages.com/northamerica/Honolulu

Above is a map that is known as a climograph and, as implied by the name, deals a lot with the weather and climate of different places. This climograph is a representation of the weather in Hawaii over a years time but has two distinct parts, the average temperature and the average rainfall. As the map shows, in the mid-year months, the temperature is very low and the perception high, as opposed to other months when temperatures are relatively high and rainfall low. This information is important because it helps climatographers to keep track of the weather and, in some instances, compare them to years in which the weather is much different and to predict why these changes happen and how they will affect the future weather prediction.
