A climograph is a graph showing the annual temperature and rainfall of a particular geographic location such as a city. On the graph, the horizontal axis shows the months of the year, one vertical axis shows the mean monthly temperature and the second vertical axis shows the mean monthly precip-itation. Temperature is shown by the line with green diamond symbols and precipitation is shown by the bars.
