Climate is an important record of the local weather over time in a given geographic location. The climograph plots this data by using a bar graph in joint with a line graph. There are two y-axises—one for precipitation (usually in mm) and one for temperature. The x-axis is used to represent the twelve months of the year. The bar graph represents precipitation levels and the line graph represents temperature changes throughout the months. This allows one interested in climate to compare precipitation and temperature rates to understand the link between the two in the local area. This climograph was created for Memphis, Tennessee and shows that while the winters have lower temperatures and higher precipitation, the summers have high temperatures and lower levels of precipitation relatively.
