Climograph


A climograph is a type of geovisualization. It is a graphic representation of the relation between temperature and precipitation as plotted at monthly intervals throughout the year. This image shows us the Wet-Dry Tropical / Tropical Savanna climate: Timbo, Guinea, at lat. 10N, West Africa. Looking at the map, we can see that a wet season at time of high sun alternates with an almost rainless dry season at time of low sun.
