HOW TO CRATE A CLIMATE GRAPH
1. Draw temperature as line graph in reda. the temperature scale is on the left hand side in °C b. Temperatures are plotted in the centre of the column for each month2. Draw rainfall as columns which touch each other.a. Shade the columns blue or blackb. The precipitation scale is on the right hand side in mmc. Mark a line across the column for each month. The columns join onto each other.

Mean annual temperature: By adding every monthly average and dividing the total by 12. In this case: 17.5 ºCPrecipitations: By adding each month´s average. rainfall In this case: 465 mm.Thermal amplitude: By substracting the highest temperature and the lowest one.25 – 11.5 = 13, 5. If it is below 15ºC it means is close to the coast. In this case it is Valencia.

Mean annual temperature: By adding every monthly average and dividing the total by 12. In this case: 14.6 ºCPrecipitations: By adding each month´s average. rainfall In this case: 351.5 mm.Thermal amplitude: By substracting the highest temperature and the lowest one.23.7 – 6.1= 17.6. If it is below 15ºC it means is close to the coast. In this case it is over 15ºC, it is not close to the coast, it is Zaragoza.
