  3. A Climate Graph • Shows average temperature and precipitation amounts over the course of a year • The blue bars indicate precipitation in mm • The red line indicates temperature in C° • The green area indicates the growing season, where temperatures are at least 6 °C

  4. Which location has the highest annual precipitation? Which location has the lowest annual average temperature? Which location has the most drastic temperature change Which location has the driest winter? Which location has the most precipitation in one month? Which month? Which location has the most consistent temperature?
