A climograph shows the trend of precipitation and temperature with the progression of time, inches of precipitation occurring and degrees of temperature shown on the X and Y axes. Usually the time scale occurs over a year where precipitation is correlated with temperature. Also climographs can be useful to compare different locations as well as make it easy to see extreme weather events occurring for a particular year for the same location. The image above is an example of a climograph in Boulder, Colorado that shows a relatively weak positive correlation between precipitation and temperature.
