How to Make a Climate Graph:

1. Plot the data on RAIN (precipitation, shown in inches) as a bar graph by month.

2. Plot the data on TEMP (temperature in degrees Fahrenheit [F]) as a line graph by month.

3. Analyze the two graphs to describe the climates in these two locations? - What are the seasons like? When is it hot? When is it cooler? - When is it wet? When is it dry?
