CLIMATE GRAPHS – Remember you should draw your own graph! To do this you will need information on Temperature and Rainfall for a whole year. Here’s how you do it….

Step One: Find out the name of a big city in your chosen country (E.g. for Brazil, it could be Sao Paulo)

Step Two: Click this link for the World Climate Website.

Step Three: Type in the name of the city and press ‘search’.

Step Four: The info you need is under ’24 hr Average Temperature’ and ‘Average Rainfall’

Step Five: Remember you are looking at oC for temperature (not oF) and mm for rainfall (not inches).

Step Six: Use the yearly data to draw a climate graph!!! Simple….

TIP – Use the graph in your jotter to help you (it is the same graph type – just different numbers)

TIP 2 – Remember. Temperature =Line Graph. Rainfall = Bar Graph.

Good Luck
