HOW TO INTERPRET CLIMATE DATA AND GRAPHS
Climate Graphs are a visual representation of climate data (precipitaitonaverege temps allow you to understand the differences in atmospheric conditions over the whole year for any given location.
1. Climate Graphs start with the creation of a bar graph.
Watch the BAR GRAPH ANIMATION to see how to create your graph.
2. By creating to information data sets, you are able to see both monthly temperatures and precipitation levels.
Watch the CLIMATE GRAPH ANIMATION to see how to create your climate graph.
3. Climate graphs need to "interpreted" to understand the relationships and patterns that develop between the time of year, temperature ranges and precipitation levels.
Climate varies all over Canada.
Watch the presentation to understand How to Draw a Climate Graph.
4. Watch the presentation in Canadian Climate to gain a better understanding of the climate in different parts of Canada.
