Building Your Own Climatograph: A Guide to Temperature and Precipitation Data

The video tutorial explains how to create a simple climatograph. It begins with drawing a box and labeling the months of the year. The temperature scale is set on one side, ranging from 40 to -20 degrees centigrade. The precipitation scale is set on the other side, divided into thirds representing 100, 200, and 300 centimeters. Data for rainfall and temperature is recorded for each month, and dots are connected to illustrate patterns. The tutorial emphasizes keeping variables consistent for fair comparisons between different biomes.

What is the first step in creating a climatograph?
