A climate graph displays yearly temperature and precipitation statistics for a particular location.
Temperature (oC) is measured using the numbers on the left hand side of the chart. The average temperature for each month is plotted on the graph with a red dot and the dots are then connected in a smooth, red line. Precipitation (mm) is measured using the numbers on the right hand side of the chart. The average rainfall for each month is plotted on the graph with a blue bar.
Here is an example for Vancouver, BC.
