Climographs organize data for temperature and precipitation in a region in a way that allows for easy visualization of both variables. The graph spans a whole year, so that annual trends can be seen. Rainfall is represented by a parabola, whereas temperature is represented by the bars beneath the curve. The above example of a climograph is based on the climate of Anchorage, Alaska. Conclusions can be made that the summer season sees the highest rate of precipitation and the late summer to fall seasons see the highest average temperatures in Alaska.
