Climograph

Climograph- A graphic representation of the relation between temperature and precipitation plotted over monthly intervals. In this instance, precipitation levels (inches) are plotted on the left vertical axis, represented by the blue bars, and temperature (degrees Fahrenheit) is plotted on the right vertical axis, represented by the red line. This climograph of the average monthly temperature and precipitation measurements from 1930 to 2006 for the Lower Colorado River Planning Area shows the highest temperatures and precipitation occurring on in the month of August (http://www.census.gov/2010census/).
